Not worth it. I bought, played, and returned the game about a week ago. The "new levels" are VERY similar to the old ones, with differing surface features. The new enemies look different, act the same. The new bosses offer nothing new to the game; some are even recycled. The "eye- candy" animation on the CD-ROM version is mostly your ship flying to and from each planet. The ending is dull. Stick to the shareware version, and you've got almost everything the registered version has to offer. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Neal Miller | --------------------- | "This Side Up - Not Plummet Please!" mil...@rpi.edu | Southampton, PA 18966 | - the box for my Taiwanese CPU fan ---------------http://www.rpi.edu/~millen3------------------------------------
