5- PLOT
It’s a Saturday like many others and four friends, Max, Bruce, Sarah (Bruce’s girlfriend), and Lisa decide to
spend the night at the disco. After drinking a cocktail, Sarah feels ill and suddenlyfaints. Bruce, worried, calls an
ambulance, and the police arrives to the place as well. Sarah’s friends discover that she has fallen in a such a
deep sleep because of a new experimental drug she has unknowingly taken with her drink. A criminal
organization is testing this explosive mix using random young people as testers. Unfortunately though this test
version of the drug causes a coma and there are no known treatments for it yet. Bruce and his friends realize
that only the chemists of the criminal organization might have a medicine to save Sarah, so they decide to
search the barman who put the drug in her cocktail. Alfred, a long-time friend of Sarah, joins the team of guys in
the quest. The local boss of the criminal organization gets infomed of our heroes’ mission and sends a bunch of
his followers to stop them in any way. The adventure begins here.
Max, Alfred, Bruce and Lisa go into a disco, the “Star Disco” located in “West Side”, where they find Ronny, the
barman. After a duel, they ask him about this new drug and he reveals them that an old prison not far from the
disco was used as a laboratory to produce this substance. Armed with this information our team head to the
masquerade lab, guarded day and night by a lot of underworld soldiers. After bating them all they find the chief
chemist mutated by the collateral effects of his own new drug under testing. They defeat him and make him
reveal that his boss (known as “Mr. Drug” in the criminal world), living on the other side of the city, could have an
antidote for Sarah’s coma.
At this point the four fighters have to go to Mr. Drug’s mansion and get the much needed antidote, but they have
to fight against a huge number of followers of his criminal organization first before reaching him.
When they finally get to face the big wig in the mansion (who shows the signs of a mutation similar to the
chemist in the secret lab), they fight strongly against him, get the antidote and eventually rescue Sarah.

7- SKINS
Every The Rage’s character has a “skin”, i.e. his aspect, determined by a bitmap file; you can modify this file to
change characters’ aspect and you can download a great number of skins from our site (see chapter 9). If you
want to have more than one skin for a character, you have to put all the skins’ images (in .bmp format) in The
Rage’s images folder and each one has to start with the name of the character. During the character selection,
inside the game, you can select the skin pressing up or down.
