This game has:

* 1/2 player missions and dogfight levels

* 15 different ships to buy - all with their own ammo, range, shield,
       mass, cargo capacity, fuel efficiency, response, engine power, etc.

* lots of nasty things - chain guns, multi-rocket launchers, dish-guns,
                         radio-guns, etc, etc.

* shields  You can rebound off the walls, take hits, etc.

* damage   After losing all your shield, blinky lights and "Warning"
           voice may tell you that you have stabiliser damage, fuel
           blockage, power failure, turbine overheat, launch failure
           and/or a burst fuel valve.  It is difficult to fly your ship
           by that stage, but it's quite amusing to watch.
        
* lots of firepower - some ships can fire 60 bullets per second.

* homing missiles   - you have them, but so does the enemy!

* deflectors, water, gravitational attractors, fans, teleporters, lifts...

* various doors, buttons and switches.

* neat sound effects

* very nifty side-by-side two-player mode.  
  (instead of skinny rectangles above one another)

* 60 frames per second screen update

* decent graphics (for non-AGA at least)

- Tested on:  A500, A1000, A1200, A2000, A4000...


This is a playable DEMO version of R3.

Registration gets you a (very nice) level editor, lots of levels, more
baddies/traps/features in the game and another (previously unreleased)
game called "Tritus" (also very good).  It really is heaps better than
the demo, honest.

Registration costs 10 pounds sterling or US$15 or NZ$20, inc. P&P.  or
equivalent.
