AMOK

The war had involved all possible fronts and theaters, including operations in the air, on the surface of the land and sea, and beneath the water.

Very recently, a weak peace accord had only just been reached.

In the manual, the peace accord is described as being much like "a blanket covering the fire that smolders in the hearts of the people.

The agreement is sufficiently unsteady that an influential mercenary company, known only as "the Bureau," has now decided to hire a capable battle walker pilot named Gert Staun to restart the war so they can continue to make large amounts of money by taking lucrative contracts from both sides.

The player takes the role of Gert Staun.

Naturally "the Bureau" has placed a high priority on this, and they are funding it entirely on their own.

Indeed, Gert Staun's battle walker, called the "Slambird" is explicitly said to be custom-modified.

In particular, the Slambird can not only survive either on land or underwater, but it can transition between the two -- it can move, fight, and safely control its vertical position in either environment.

These abilities are portrayed as costly and not standard to such vehicles in the universe where Amok takes place.

The transformation of the Slambird between an underwater vehicle and a land vehicle is automatically scripted, however.

The player has no power to control this transformation or alter the time when it happens.

Instead, the player must get to the point when Staun will automatically bring the Slambird ashore to continue his attacks.

The object of this arcade-type game is to meet a series of objectives, and to do so in such a way that each side will blame the other.

The game has a linear structure, based on levels that present

AMOK for Sega Saturn is currently worth €52.97 loose, €43.72 complete in box, and €74.37 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

AMOK has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For AMOK, loose is €52.97 and CIB is €43.72 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of AMOK is currently worth €52.97 loose, versus €39.39 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
