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.
