Wow, that's one cool game! Well worth a little 3 meg download.
: I stumbled on this AWESOME game a few days ago. Its called Mission to Mars. I am not affiliated with these guys, but wanted to let all the shooter fans in on this great game. Its the first time Ive played a 3d game with actual gameplay!
: It plays like galaga, but with many suprises. First note is the graphics... The screen-shots do not do it justice. There are several layers of multi-parralax stars, and highly detailed planetscapes, as well as other space debris and amazing lighting fx.
:
: The game starts out pretty tame, but livens up pretty heavy in a few minutes. Lots of suprises like asteroid fields - large ships, and others.
: The main ship can be powered up several times, yet, it didnt get 'Overkill'. A must try. You may need a decent 3d card to fully enjoy this one. Im not sure how it will prefrom on a non-3d or non excellerated machine.
: As for my control panel, I will take some pics and post them to my page in a few days. The panel has 6 sides, and a homemade starwars controller.
