''Chaser'' is a first-person shooter action video game developed by Cauldron. The game is built on the CloakNT 3D engine. Unlike many contemporary science fiction first-person shooters like ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', ''Pariah'', ''WarPath'', and ''Unreal Tournament 2004'', ''Chasers weapons fire modern day projectiles. It was re-released on Steam and GOG.com in 2011. ==Overview== The story of the game begins in the year 2044 on Mars with the UN establishing MARSCORP (Martian Security and Economics Committee) under the leadership of Samuel Longwood. In the years that follow, the UN gradually loses control of MARSCORP, mainly due to the non-transparent license policy of its director. Samuel Longwood uses his autonomous status to create vassal relations between the corporations and MARSCORP. The strong power position of MARSCORP is supported by the companies and thus they acquire additional rights and licenses. Samuel Longwood and his consortium become extremely wealthy from this arrangement. However, dissenting voices in MARSCORP begin to challenge Samuel Longwood's authoritarian policy. They demand the dismissal of Samuel Longwood as director and a complete redistribution of the mining rights. John Chaser, the game's main character, awakens on board the space station H.M.S. ''Majestic''. He does not know who he is, what he's doing there, why he is being sought by men in black uniforms and what they will do to him when they find him. The player's goal in the game is to find out who Chaser really is and why he is being hunted. The story leads the player from the H.M.S. ''Majestic'' to the fictional Montack City on Earth, then on to Siberia, and finally to Mars, where the trail ends and hopefully the truth can be found. The main plot of the game is very similar to the story of Total Recall (1990 film) - a Hollywood movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger. As in Total Recall, in the end turns out that the main character of the game - John Chaser - in truth is a head of Samuel Longwood's (the director of MARSCORP) security - Stone - who has planned all this operation with Longwood and erased his own memory to become John Chaser and infiltrate the Mars Resistance force. There are differences, especially in the first part of the game taking place on Earth, and there is no human mutants on Mars in Chaser, but all in all Chaser is a video game obviously inspired by the story of Total Recall. The ending is almost 1:1.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Mars game review - Chaser )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chaser (video game)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
