T2R Associates wants to make you even More Aggressive! New Windows 95/98 top-scrolling shooter released today Houston, TX - T2R Associates announced today the shareware release of their Windows 95/98 arcade game, More Aggressive!, the sequel to their first release, Aggressive! Players will enjoy high-res, 16-bit color at 30fps while blasting 61 different and unique alien ships through 18 challenging levels. Players can use a joystick, gamepad, mouse or keyboard to control thier ship while picking up powerups that upgrade thier ship to 31 different combinations of firepower and armor. More Aggressive! can be played on any PC compatible computer that has a version of Microsoft DirectX(tm) installed. That means that Windows NT users can also enjoy being More Aggressive! More Aggressive! blows away its predecessor with translucent explosions, a super-fast particle system, and animated, transforming bosses. More Aggressive! features 100% 3D rendered artwork, big bad bosses and sub-bosses, a radar screen that gives the player advance warning of the hordes of aliens sweeping down the screen, PLUS the Evil Queen of Space! "Aggressive! targeted the unsung but loyal shooter fans out there," said Anna McCullum, Sales Manager for T2R Associates. "The response was overwhelmingly positive. One unexpected result is how many young boys and girls enjoy playing Aggressive! with thier parents. Now with the release of this newer, better sequel, we hope to capture the attention of even more gamers of all ages!" More Aggressive! comes with awesome sound effects, but no music. Instead, the player can customize which CD audio track gets played during different parts of the game. The player can put in his or her favorite music CD, select different tracks for different levels, and enjoy More Aggressive! on a whole new level. More Aggressive! also has what many arcade games lack; extensive difficulty settings. Speed, Difficulty, and Intensity can all be adjusted from 1 to 10, allowing each player to tailor the challenge he or she faces. Boss strength and super power-up thresholds can also be tweaked. "I saw a great number of arcade games on the shareware market, and NONE of them had a way to give players of differing skills an equal amount of fun," said Thom Robertson, designer. "By providing such a comprehensive way of tailoring the game to each individual player, I hope we've raised the bar for everyone else." The demo version of More Aggressive! (the first six levels) is available for free from www.aggressive.to. Players can recieve all 18 levels by registering the product for $20US. Customers can register the product with an on-line order form, E-mail, FAX, and of course snail-mail (VISA/MC/AMEX, or check or money order). Rush delivery within the US and Canada is also available. More Aggressive! was created by Studio ARC, an up-and-coming developer of quality arcade games for the Windows 95/98/NT platforms. Studio ARC's technology allows the developer to rapidly create high-quality arcade games, and allows the designers to quickly prototype new ideas and creative directions.
