Description
Deserts cover the globe, cities are destroyed, the end of every civilization is near. The few survivors search for drinking water and food. They eat all they can find.
Like a Role-Playing-Game, you travel through the world and meet many computer-played characters. You want to rule the world. But there are other 3 characters with the same aim.
You spend the most game time looking at the map, which takes up several screens. The position of the 4 characters, their occupied conquests, the cities, and the health condition of your character are shown on the map.
The different settlements you can occupy are old factories, camping-grounds or ruins of old mega-cities. The five great cities are opened for all competitors and can’t be occupied. In these cities you cannot fight against your enemies.
Sometimes you meet a human for changing news, items or take them in your party. There are different classes of computer-characters: fighters, engineers or doctors for example. Every character of your party can carry up to 6 items (food, weapons). These items are produced by the settlements you control.

Directly from the backside of the game-box:
Can you survive the dangerous and dark future looming over our world; a world destroyed by human hand and natural disaster? Will you successfully complete for the rule of the land with the cunning and ruthless individuals this hostile environment has created? Are you ready for BURNTIME?
BURNTIME is a complex strategic and trade simulation for one or two players. Based in a world where bartering and killing are the rule of the day. Explore, conquer and go to battle in a barren world of nuclear waste and toxic gasses.
