Description:
Expanding the range of their games beyond animated text adventures and simple mini-games of the Island series, Sogna introduced the Paradice computerized board games. Up to four players, real or computer, choose one of five characters from earlier VIPER games - Akira, Asuka, Carrera, Mika, or Raika - and a large board to play across. Dice are used to move a player's character token across the board, landing on spaces with numerous effects such as item discovery, mini-games, or shops where points earned thus far can be spent. One of three goals can be chosen for the game: a complete a circuit of the map, acquisition of specific items, or completion of a puzzle.

One of the more well-known items that can be purchased in shops are short movie clips, most of which are the same animations from the earlier VIPER series games. Four movies are new, original works: one each featuring Akira, Carrera and Mika, and a fourth featuring both Asuka and Miki.

Viper Paradice is a dice-based board game with three different modes of play:
Mode A: Players must strive to complete the set number of laps around the board.
Mode B: Players must strive to reach the set number of Viper points.
Mode C: Players must strive to complete the movie panel.



Important:
1. Mount Viper Paradice.cue in DAEMON Tools.
2. Viper Paradice is protected with Securom. Mount the image in Daemon-tools, and enable Securom emulation in Preferences > Advanced. In the right section, check Advanced Emulation. You can install without needing to do this, but the game will not run.
This goes for the older versions of DAEMON Tools. Newer ones don’t have this option. If the special option area is still greyed out, then create and SCSI virtual drive, reboot, and the advanced options should be enabled. Also, load the image file in this SCSI drive.
3. Running the game is the hard part sometimes. You have to keep executing \VPRunner.exe\ in the bin subdirectory of the paradice directory over and over again until it works. You might also need to install the video codec completely.
