This demo of Abuse offers 4 non-stop action-packed levels. This demo does not include 8-player networking. The full retail version includes over 20 levels, 8-player networking, a cool level editor, and much more.
What is Abuse?
Abuse is 360 degrees of side-scrolling action. Run, jump, fall and fly in any direction—through industrial corridors, caverns and sewers. Destroy enemies in any direction with grenade launchers, rocket launchers, napalm and nova spheres! Avoid traps with jet packs and turbo boost.
Falsely accused and imprisoned in a high-security facility, you watch in horror as a mysterious biogenetic experiment turns everybody around you — guards and prisoners alike, into ravening, inhuman monsters. Your only hope — steal a suit of powered armor, any weapons you can get your hands on, and make your way to the deepest level of the prison, before the plague spreads to the outside world.

Installation
To install Abuse for Macintosh, double-click on the "Abuse Demo Installer" icon. By default, no extensions are installed into your system. Please read below to see if your Macintosh requires any special extensions. Both of the following extensions can be installed by the Abuse Installer.
Display Enabler 2.0 - Display Enabler is used to switch resolution modes on multi-sync monitors that can display images larger than 640 X 480. With this extension installed, you can have Abuse switch to 640 X 480 mode so that the entire screen is filled during gameplay.
