I agree! Well done Epic! It looks as if you were actually doing
something while we waited. The added secrets, such as the destructor
game make it that little bit better. How many more weapons and ships
are there in the full game? I'm a little bit dubious about getting
the registered version, because normally all you get is twice as many
levels plus the shareware ones, which, lets face it, is not really
value for money when the original third was free. I hope you have
gotten over this problem.
Simon.
