Sounds like all Apogee games eh? Boring. The way I see it, Epic and Id
Software are much better at game making then Apogee, ID Software with DOOM
& Heretic & Quake soon, and Epic with games like OMF 2097 and Jazz
JackRabbit, and now Tyrian :-)

Try "techno" for the Experimental PQZ. If you get a Zica Laser with this
ship, then you have one truly nice front weapon, especially when it's fully
powered up :-)
