IT'S A SPACE JAM-MED WITH ALIENS!

Strap yourself into the console! You've just entered Madame Zapps new Virtual Reality arcade. But once you take on these virtual worlds, forget about scoring. You'll be too busy trying to stay alive!

If you're a real space cadet check out, "Adrift Off Vega" where you end up in space, fighting super-smart--and super-deadly—Arcturian aliens. Or maybe you'd like to try an Arctic adventure in "Abominable Snow Woman." But remember to pack your parka—or you could end up a human popsicle...

The choice is yours in this scary GOOSEBUMPS adventure that's packed with over 20 super-spooky endings!

Plot
You and your friends, Katy and Jordan, visit Madame Zapp's new Virtual Reality Arcade. The two main storylines result from the decision to either play Abominable Snow Woman or Adrift off Vega. Abominable Snow Woman takes you to the Arctic, where you meet a boy named Andy. Together, you search for the Abominable Snow Woman, in order to escape the game. Adrift off Vega takes you to space, where aliens attack you, including a giant lizard and a blob.
