Queen: The eYe is an action-adventure electronic video game that was released in 1998 by Electronic Arts, and featured music by the rock group Queen which was re-mixed exclusively for The eYe by Joshua J. Macrae at Roger Taylor's studio in Surrey. The game is set in the future where the world is ruled by an all-seeing machine called "The eYe" which has eradicated everything that promotes creative expression. You play Dubroc, a secret agent of The eYe who in the course of his duties has re-discovered a database of popular rock music, and is sentenced to death in "The Arena", a live television show broadcast through satellites to the world in which the contestant battles fighting arena champions called the Watchers... from there Dubroc, the secret agent, goes on a quest to destroy The eYe. Elements of the story do seem to bear a remarkable resemblance to that of the later Queen musical, We Will Rock You.
The game contained five CDs which, along with the electronic files in the game itself, featured instrumental remixes of many Queen tracks and is considered a collector's item by fans due to this music. Despite Queen's popularity the electronic game suffered poor sales due to weak gameplay, very little promotion and graphics that already seemed dated at release due to the game's unusually long development time.
