The game was made by Creator/DigitalPictures, the company who also made such {{c|ultClassic}}lassics as ''VideoGame/MakeMyVideo'', ''VideoGame/NightTrap'' and ''VideoGame/CorpseKiller'' with Creator/ApogeeProductions, of ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture'' and ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'' assisting. It was published by Creator/SonyImagesoft.

Full Motion Video is a disambig.


Set TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture, it centers around "sewer jockeys", exterminators hired to clean the sewers of dangerous mutant vermin [[SeriousBusiness using flying ships and gatling guns]]. Gameplay-wise, it's a fairly average rail shooter - mostly, it's known for being the first video game for a game console to use FullMotionVideo for its primary gameplay and for its memorable cutscenes.

* PteroSoarer: The "Crazy Looking Thing" in the Sega CD version is some sort of sewer pterosaur. The 3DO version changed it into what can only be described as a very large molecule.

* HoverBot: Catfish. He goes ahead of your ship to find the route you need to take to accomplish your objective, whether it's as simple as "find mutated sewer creatures to shoot" or as complicated as "follow another ship and give me directions." He's played by an awful wire-controlled puppet. Well, it was the mid-'90s and FMV games didn't have the best resolution...
