There are four difficulty settings: easy, normal, hard, and terminal. When you collide into objects, your screen goes momentarily red and you get bounced away.

It is disorienting because you will end up heading in a completely new direction. This also happens when you are rammed by enemy craft. I don't like the "red-out" effect, and neither do other players I have spoken. If you collide with the walls of the tunnels, your ears will be rewarded with the appropriately nasty screeching of metal. I also noticed that sometimes I can not go back down through the cloud cover, and will be bounced away.

Unlike Doom or Descent, you cannot control when you respawn after you die. You simply regenerate automatically. Further, people have mentioned that they often find themselves hurtling directly into the side of a mountain.

I have not experienced this, but then again I did spend a lot of time bouncing off various objects. Operating instructions are handily accessible during the game by pressing F1.

This is handy for when I forget a particularkey in the midst of flying As for the installation itself, I had no problems -- it was quick and uneventful. What really gets me excited about Terminal Velocity is Comm-bat, as its multi-player option is called. Modem and network play add so much to games, especially action-oriented games like this one. Imagine pummeling your "best friend" in a vicious aerial dogfight in the open sky, and then diving through the clouds to chase him or her through treacherous canyons in order to deliver the fatal blow Terminal Velocity supports modem, serial cable, and network multiplayer games.

Network sessions require the IPX-protocol and can support up to 8 players. The shareware version is limited to 4 network players. Comm-bat lets you select one of several fighters to pilot. Although the ability to choose is nice, I have not been able to discern any difference between the various fighters: same weapons and flight characteristics.

In the shareware episode, Comm-bat has two specially designed levels. Perhaps, it was an error on my part In the end, an intrepid acquaintance provided assistance in resetting the baud rate to Comm-bat can get a bit tricky.

It can be difficult to actually track and kill an opponent, because there is so much open terrain. If you fly at full throttle, you will often whiz right your target without ever firing a shot. What to do? As any veteran jet-sim pilot will tell you, learn to use the throttle properly. One of my favorite tactics when being pursued is to go immediately from full throttle to no throttle: my pursuer usually flies by me and into my crosshairs.

And don't forget to press the Enter key to select your target. That way your radar will lock onto an opponent so you can continue to pound away on his or her shields and finally rack up a kill. What a thoughtful feature! And while hunting for other humans in a multi-player session, be sure to use the Remote-Ridicule feature! It is hilarious, and adds tremendously to the fun. This feature lets players send digitized voice messages to other players.

The ten Remote-Ridicule wav's range from maniacal laughter to a thunderous "Bow down before me! The first time I heard them during a head-to-head match, I burst out laughing and nearly fell out of my chair!

For those so inclined, you can make your own wav files to use for Remote-Ridicule as long as they are 8-bit mono, 11 kHz, and less than 64 k in length. Although Remote-Ridicule sure beats having to type out taunts, you can still use the "chat" and "macro" features for transmitting typed messages to other players.

The flight model could use some more tweaking for responsiveness. In addition, I did not appreciate the auto-leveling feature. Although it may be very helpful to many, it seemed to have the tendency to flip me over in hard turns and keep me upside down.

An option to toggle it off would be nice. TV's outdoor graphics fade into the foggy distance. Perhaps the designers of TV made this compromise in order to maintain a high framerate. However, if my recollection is correct, Comanche provided beautiful landscapes, generated in real time, clear to the horizon at high framerates even on my lowly dx I think those with fast Pentium machines would appreciate an option to select the amount of render-depth for the outdoor graphics.

Comm-bat target-identification should be added. It would be nice to "know" that it was your friend's fighter that you just blew out of the sky. I suggest displaying the player's name anytime they pass through the targeting reticle. An alternative would be to use color coding. Almost anything would help. More multi-player options would increase the longevity of Terminal Velocity among gamers. Players take control of the TV, a fighter notable for its ability to fly in degrees of direction, ignoring gravity and providing constant thrust.

While flying to different planets, the TV is able to speed up and slow down, but will never come to a complete halt. The majority of the game takes place in the air and sometimes space , flying above landscapes which include trees, mountains, rivers, snow and other terrain. Additionally, tunnels can be found, often hidden, dug into the sides of landscape.

Upon entering these tunnels, the TV loses its ability to turn around going ahead constantly and must navigate avoiding enemies, moving walls, rotating obstacles and other hazards.

Power-ups are found by destroying enemy forces or destroying enemy bunkers which are scattered around each level.
