In Pursuit of Greed (alternate title, Assassinators) is a sci-fi First-Person Shooter developed by Mind Shear Software and published by Softdisk. Expectedly, given the time it was made, the game was one of many Doom clones from the mid-90s (it was in fact developed using a heavily modified alpha version of Doom's engine, used in an earlier game called ShadowCaster).Set in the very, very, very distant future of 15392, an era dubbed the "third age of man", a legion of bounty hunters called the Red Hunter elite acquisition squad has been established, who operates by raiding alien vessels and looting planets and competing in campaigns to determine who's a better, more impressive criminal.Five different mercenaries are available as player characters - Tobias Locke, An ex-human who's a Cyborg, cybernetic left eye and mechanical chest included; Theola Nom, a skimpily-clad Fembot from planet Dominatrix and part of The Smurfette Principle, Xith, a nimple Zollessian reptilian alien who favors bows, Aldus Kaden, a bull-headed Bovinarian Mooman who carries heavy, large-bore weapons, Badass Bandolier of shells included, and Specimen 7, a neanderthal-like Mutant.You have the means - the power, the weapons - but, in the pursuit of greed, all you need is the desire...the desire to kill.

All There in the Manual: The various playable mercenaries' backstories isn't available in gameplay, but they do show up on their states in the character select screen. Which players will likely ignore or briefly glance through while checking out their stats and choosing between either a badass-looking cyborg or a fierce reptilian hunter.

Stripperiffic: In typical 90s-style sci-fi fashion, Theola's bounty hunter uniform is basically an armored two-piece thong swimsuit with some shoulder pads and belts. Same goes for the female mooks.

Bag of Spilling: While you can keep weapons between sub-levels (e.g. prison 3 to prison 4), when transitioning between worlds (Penal Colony - Ristanak Temple) you lose all your equipment save for your basic firearms.

Unwilling Roboticisation: Inverted with Tobias Locke's backstory; accordingly, he went into Willing Roboticisation to complete his initiation with the Loth Mal Esch clan, whose members are all cyborgs.

Excuse Plot: The five playable characters' backstories are provided in two paragraphs of scrolling text in their introductory FMV, before getting swept under a rug. For gameplay they're thrown straight into kicking ass, with cutscenes between levels skippable without the players missing anything.

Covers Always Lie: The 100% human male character who appears on all cover art somehow isn't in the actual game. Some fans have speculated that was Specimen-7, pre-mutation, but it's ambiguous.

Proud Warrior Race Guy: Xith's tribe, the Zollessian reptilians, are hunters by birth, and appears to be a sci-fi version of Native Amerindians. His preference of using bows seems to further enforce the reference.

Press X to Die: The second level of the first world features several airlocks. Activating one of these triggered a special animation and the Player Character had to restart the level. Later, in the second world, the player had a first battle with that world's boss. After his defeat he retired to his personal chamber. The following level featured this chamber, and if the player found it and wanted to pass the doors, another animation triggered with the resting boss and two of his henchwomen, the boss fried the player character with an energy ball, and the player had to restart the level.
