I got mine at 8am this morning. It really kicks ass! I'll post more after I get beyond level 3, which is completely different from the demo. There are also obstacles in the release, barrels, furniture, etc. I've encountered my first flying alien on level three (Normal - not Total Carnage yet). Gotta go I can see the TUNCER Mirage Effect off my port and I think the aliens are out to get me. TME - I love it. :-) *-------------------------------------------------------------* Kevin Hendrickson "On the internet, no one knows you're a dog." hndrcksn@museum.cl.msu.edu ruffneck@aol.com Nyabinghi Warrior hendric7@clunix.cl.msu.edu hendric7@student.msu.edu _DreaD_ Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac.games From: marshall@iglou.com (Scott R.

I saw Fritz's message on a local forum and rushed to the same store and bought a copy too! I've only had a few minutes to play it (darn in-laws are here for the holidays) but they improved quite a few things over the demo! More when I get time! -- Scott R.
