Theme[edit]

There seems to be a lot of references to retro media, with some anti-establishment undertones, which in itself is a retrospective stand taken in a lot of 90's pop culture. The current state of the world of the game is one based in a dystopian future, where the rules established have been diminished enough to allow monopolies to thrive with no resistance. VOSS Turbo is a commentary, which points out the dangers of allowing corporate greed to deteriorate the morality of systems that we rely on to live. Showing an extreme, but comical case of how a capitalist society can easily turn into a dictatorship if corporate entities have a hand in running the systems that we depend upon.

What does VOSS mean?[edit]

The title name VOSS is an acronym made at the expense of the premise of the game, meaning very original space shooter, and Turbo being a nonsensical subtitle used in many arcade titles in the 80's and 90's. VOSS Turbo pulls from many retro sources, and is in no way original, and proudly so.
