I'm thinking of getting the fully-registered version of Terminal
Velocity but what to know whether the CD version is worth the
extra money or if it is sufficient to stick to diskette.  

Also, do the other planets offer any new twists on the shareware
experience aside from different enemies and additional weapons?

Thanks for comments.
Rob

	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.
