Computer players have the reputation of becoming obsessed with playing and at the same time of losing their communicative skills. Companies today, pro ducing technological leisure games on a large scale, will have to face up to this reality. We believe that anyone who enjoys a good game is also interested in world current affairs both now and in the future. For this reason we have put together some information about the three real threats affecting our environment today. Unfortunately, due to lack of space, we have had to omit the highly sensitive subject of the ozone. In this handbook the subjects discussed are those most relevant to the world created in BURNTIME. Obviously only the most essential information on the subjects could be touched upon. A more detailed account was not possible, as this handbook would have got out of all proportions. We hope, however, that you will take an interest in the problems facing our environment, if you weren't already aware of them. Burntime is set in a contaminated and hostile world sometime in the future. The world we live in, does not look like this yet, but if you read the information in "On the Way to Burntime", you will find out just exactly how this could happen. Even if you find it hard to imagine such a world, remember that up until now, no society has been able to survive forever. The ruins and the script are all that remain of a once powerful Roman civilisation. A society can hardly survive for more than a thousand years. A civilised society has 3 stages in its cycle - its ascent, heyday and downfall. The downfall often happens very quickly and unexpectedly due to outside influences such as a war or a natural disaster. Even today there are the initial signs that the heyday of our domineering western industrial society could come to an end. Moreover, the industrial countries are doing everything to speed up this course of events, and for the first time in the history of the planet Earth, a civilisation is on the way to causing its own final devastating natural disaster. So while you are hopefully having lots of fun playing Burntime, think about the fact that in the short time it takes you to get to like this game, it could become reality. Enjoy the game and make sure you do everything in your power to ensure it remains just a fantasy in our future.
