Nothing lasts forever.
Nothing is absolute.
Absolute Zero is a 1995 science-fiction flight simulator and rail-shooter developed by Domark. Mankind has expanded throughout the solar system establishing mining colonies on planets and moons. Thanks to fusion technology, the Jovian moon Europa is key to further development.Nothing is absolute.
In 2374, an explosion occurs at Europa City and crystalline aliens begin to pour out of the crater and attack the colonists on the moon's surface. With military help being weeks away, the surviving miners and security staff retrofit their vehicles to fight back against the alien threat.
