Review by Kim Robinson on 27th July 2007
Another nice release from Alejandro made back in 2002, HydroStation combines solid gameplay with pleasant sector-hugging design to create something rather nice, but on reflection a little repetitive. Needless to say however it remains a great map, puzzles are logical, the level flows very smoothly. You've got to blow up an industrial facility, so you know it's gotta be fun.

And now it was time for vacation :) Duke was on the coast of California for 3 months enjoying that he finally got some free time, and then, he returned to the EDF Headquarters to bring his help again. Gral. Heisafuck: Good day Nukem, I hope that you enjoyed your vacations. Duke : Yes General, was too good for me! Anyway, now I'm ready for more action. Gral. Heisafuck: And that is what I was thinking. But these three months were surprisingly calm. We had almost no problems, only a few things but nothing important. Duke : Well looks like these Alien bastards were waiting for me, heh. Meanwhile, there seems to be a message in the queue of the Gral. Heisafuck's PC, that came from the EDF's secret network... Duke didn't doubt one second and went immediately to the computer to read that... /* Gral. Heisafuck, please report here at our base #45, we have some news for you... */ Gral. Heisafuck: Well Duke, I'm going to see what happens... Duke : Ok, bye... And duke returned to his house to sleep one more day... At the morning, the Gral. Heisafuck called duke: "Duke, it's urgent, please report here as soon as you can". Duke went immediately to his red Ferrari and moved to EDF HQ. Duke : Here I am, what happens? Gral. Heisafuck: We have problems at Hydroponics Sub Station, a facility that we have installed in the south of Argentina. Aliens have taken that place which is also used to distribute water to many cities, and looks like they are distributing viruses through the water pump system. We don't have very detailed information about these viruses but they have reported 1500 dead people, and only for now... so you must destroy that facility. Duke : So there is no time to waste... No problem, but how am I supposed to do that? Gral. Heisafuck: There is a chamber with an emergency override switch, if you press that switch the pressure will get higher, all will become inestable and you will have some minutes to get out of there. Duke : Ok, I'm going in... /----------------------\ | Alejandro | | aglavic[at]yahoo.com.ar | \----------------------/
