This game has:
* 1/2 player missions and dogfight levels
* 15 different ships to buy - all with their own ammo, range, shield,
mass, cargo capacity, fuel efficiency, response, engine power, etc.
* lots of nasty things - chain guns, multi-rocket launchers, dish-guns,
radio-guns, etc, etc.
* shields You can rebound off the walls, take hits, etc.
* damage After losing all your shield, blinky lights and "Warning"
voice may tell you that you have stabiliser damage, fuel
blockage, power failure, turbine overheat, launch failure
and/or a burst fuel valve. It is difficult to fly your ship
by that stage, but it's quite amusing to watch.
* lots of firepower - some ships can fire 60 bullets per second.
* homing missiles - you have them, but so does the enemy!
* deflectors, water, gravitational attractors, fans, teleporters, lifts...
* various doors, buttons and switches.
* neat sound effects
* very nifty side-by-side two-player mode.
(instead of skinny rectangles above one another)
* 60 frames per second screen update
* decent graphics (for non-AGA at least)
- Tested on: A500, A1000, A1200, A2000, A4000...
This is a playable DEMO version of R3.
Registration gets you a (very nice) level editor, lots of levels, more
baddies/traps/features in the game and another (previously unreleased)
game called "Tritus" (also very good). It really is heaps better than
the demo, honest.
Registration costs 10 pounds sterling or US$15 or NZ$20, inc. P&P. or
equivalent.
