Overview

Absolute Zero is a 1995 science-fiction flight sim first-person shooter, with action taking place over 30 missions in three locations. It was developed and published for MS-DOS and Macintosh by Domark. In some regions, it was published by Spectrum Holobyte. A 3DO Interactive Multiplayer version was planned but never released. Gameplay Absolute Zero is set in the 24th century, on the frozen Jovian moon of Europa, where mankind has established a colony to extract water for fusion reactors. When one of the mining facilities accidentally discovers members of a long-buried alien race, the creatures awaken to slaughter all the miners and destroy the colony's capital city. Using only the minimal defensive equipment located on the colony, it's up to you to thwart the attack until help arrives. Gameplay consists of 3D space combat action (though mostly on the moon's surface) with a twist: you don't play a specific character or campaign, instead you are placed on the shoes of different characters with each new mission. Each trying to do their best to survive using 7 different vehicles, from starfighters, to recon scouts, to ground-based turrets.

Notable quotes

“A cold coming they had of it, at this time of the year; just the worst time of the year to take a journey, and specially a long journey, in.”
— Lancelot Andrewes, Sermon 15, Of the Nativity (1622).
“If I was not assured by the best authority on earth that the world is to be destroyed by fire, I should conclude that the day of destruction is at hand, but brought on by means of an agent very opposite to that of heat.”
— Charles Dodgson (bishop) quoted in Life and Letters of Lewis Carroll (1898), p. 5
“Future work will extend the coilgun method to trap molecules of chemical interest. Once they are in a magnetic trap, they can be cooled to near the single photon recoil limit using the method of single photon cooling, as demonstrated recently with trapped atoms. The application of this method to cooling of molecules is particularly promising.”
— Edvardas Narevicius, Adam Libson, Christian G. Parthey, Isaac Chavez, Julia Narevicius, Uzi Even, and Mark G. Raizen; “Stopping supersonic oxygen with a series of pulsed electromagnetic coils: A molecular coilgun” in Physical Review A 77(5) • (May 2008).
“It's too cold outside for angels to fly.”
— Ed Sheeran in the song The A Team (song) (2010)
