Omnicron Conspiracy - anybody ever play this?

Too obscure to have a Wikipedia article: http://www.mobygames.com/game/omnicron-conspiracy

I somehow got my hands on a copy of this game a very long time ago and played it a bit. Didn't get very far. I think it may have belonged to somebody else, because I remember not having access to the game soon afterwards.

It was a kind of gritty/cyberpunkish scifi game. I remember it having an interesting atmosphere. I think it had action elements and that you had to get money. I remember getting ripped off by a hooker.

Ah, here's a gameplay video:

Doesn't look like an adventure game to me.

I'm not sure what it is. It doesn't appear to have stats. Primitive action-adventure?

Hmm. Some dude actually made a patch for this and a bunch of other old games: http://www.shdon.com/software/patches

aha ah... me too. I was like "wait a sec, this isn't an adventure game... it's a... it's a... game thing"

Well during the first minutes I thought it was a primitive bioware game... makeout simulator

This is an obscure but pretty cool game from Epyx. It chronicles the life of a young Captain Falcon as he bangs hookers and doesn't afraid of prison.

you can find that on Neuromancer. Have you tried it?

No. But Neuromancer was actually cyberpunk. This is straight scifi with space travel and aliens and shit, but gritty.

Apparently it is an Adventure game.

Funny thing, I immediately thought about - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Orion_Conspiracy - (quality Divide by Zero tittle, their work last apparently), and then I saw correctly... Omicron... not the Orion. But still... the Conspiracy.
