A 24-player game consisting of 4 networked pods holding 6 players each. Players took the roles of 'volunteer scientists' sent into the Loch Ness in a submersible to rescue Nessie's eggs from 'bounty hunters' (actually other players who all see themselves as rescuers). Each player had a unique input device designed to compliment the controls of others, to promote player interdependency.
