About the Game


The year is 1985, you are a programmer working on the cutting edge of virtual reality and artificial intelligence. After tampering with your homemade A.I.'s moral code, it hacked into your virtual reality world and threatens to release all of its minions into the real world. You must now enter into the virtual world you created to stop your A.I. before it is too late.


Virtual Wave is the ultimate test of a any FPS fan. Success is not guaranteed without wit and lightning fast reflexes. You must first play through the campaign introducing you to the enemies and gameplay. After a successful playthrough of the campaign Arcade mode becomes unlocked in the title screen allowing players to compete worldwide on the high score table.

While playing through the campaign you will be able to collect floppy disks to unlock items/weapons needed to progress through levels that become permanently saved in the store. A banking system is also in place allowing you to save the loot collected for use on another Campaign playthrough or later in Arcade mode.
