ke today's Detroit, KEMO city was known for the manufacture of hovercars, meeting the country's demands for transportation until 2022. Over time, however, KEMO's crime rate had risen so far that the economy collapsed and the city descended into disorder. Criminals roamed the streets in armored hovercars, terrorizing the citizens of KEMO without fear of retribution. In 2029, OmniCorp promised city officials that it could clean up KEMO and return it to normal. The offer was accepted, and the corporation began the construction of a massive wall around the city under the guise of a "defensive measure". The wall was completed three years later, and the only exit sealed shut, turning KEMO into a massive prison city for all inside, criminal or otherwise. The outraged population reacted violently, and the city degenerated.
Ten years later, in 2043, OmniCorp decided to test the behavior altering chemical Hydergine 344 on KEMO. This chemical was supposed to pacify the citizens of KEMO, and was distributed through the city's water supply. Unfortunately, OmniCorp failed to predict the chemical's reaction to the stagnant water, resulting in massive brain damage and insanity in the many of KEMO's citizens. More than half the population became crazed killers overnight.
Drake Edgewater, a 21st Century cab driver and one of the lucky few unaffected by the spreading virus, is desperate to escape the city alive. Driving his '52 Checker "hovercab" armed with an assortment of headlight-mounted weaponry, he delivers passengers and packages for what money he can make to upgrade his vehicle and escape.

You'll have to rehost your images mate, Moby don't allow hotlinking
As far as Quarantine goes? This was absolutely AMAZING! I can't even begin to count the amount of hours I sank into this and its sequel. One of the first "open world" games, iirc, being able to travel the entire city whenever you wish, taking on missions in the form of "taxi fares" and generally smashing the shit out of everything and everyone!
it came with this single sheet of paper that had letters all over it and some weird characters...every time you started it up you had to match the x and y axis to come up with an anti piracy code to authenticate your copy. the piece of paper was supposedly copy proof but if you put hte copier on the lightest setting you could clearly see the characters and distribute it freely amongst your friends..hahahah

Kinda like the dragon lair and terminator copy protection. My photo copier at the time couldnt beat it, so i copied down about a quarter of them, and you would just keep restarting until you got one you had.
The best was the monkey island wheels. We disassembled them, photo copied, and made our own. LAMO
Didn't we all do that with the Monkey Island thingie? ^^
Seriously? I got mine, copied from a copy, I didn't know anybody who owned the original back then

Man i loved quarantine. Great game
The beginnings of piracy
One of the best games this, or best atmosphere, the hum of your engine when you drive threw town full of lunatics and murderers, distant screams in the night followed by sudden bursts of fire, priceless tried to play it again but the graphics is to horrid, someone should make a remake with a modern engine.
