Opis

Fresh out of the service, Arkady O'Toole decides to celebrate with a gambling spree on the Ginza Strip of Tokyo. He winds up in a game of high stakes poker with some heavy duty players and makes one very big mistake -- he wins. The man he takes down for a bundle turns out to be a warlord of the Yakuza and Hakim Saqqara doesn't like to lose. Trying to escape Saqqara's vengeance, O'Toole enters Psychodrome, the ultimate reality game show, where the audience can link up and access the thoughts and feelings of the players as they compete in an intergalactic scavenger hut where reality blurs with computer simulation and winning could make a player rich ... or it could make him dead. And as if that wasn't challenging enough, O'Toole discovers that Saqqara's ninja assassins have followed him into the game ....
