A Vax Bonus award at the end of the game (points for extra lives, tesseracts (see below), and if you successfully escaped the last station.Ĩ. A 4-part mega station at the end (must trigger 3 reactors and then escape)Ħ. More Spinner Sensitivity - Even tho you can adjust this to be 'better' for tempest spinners, it still was almost impossible to spin a tempest spinner enough to make some moves, there is a 2x setting in Self Test now that gives some more 'speed'.ĥ. Cocktail Mode Added - this was supported on the hardware but taken out of the software at some point to get more ROM space, I put it all back!ģ. Self Test improved - Easier to read diagnostics, in game adjustments (don't need the DIPS anymore, those are the 'default')Ģ. Here is a quick laundry list of things that are updated/newġ.
things have been sorta 'fluid' in the past few years trying to get the game wrapped up and also trying to push the envelope on some things based upon what Owen was sort of looking for in this new game vs what was able to be done and vs what I was able to spend time on.Īs I mentioned above, the game is pretty solid at this point and there will be no more major additions to the game (there are already a ton), but there are certainly bugs that will need to be fixed.
sorry for the confusion about the speech stuff.
