In other words: too damn fast!

Terminal Velocity, a fast-paced interplanetary fighter flight sim straight from the depths of 1990s, is now available on GOG.com for only $5.99.

In a future not that distant, a devastating conflict shatters the terran defences. The humankind manages to survive and their last hope of defeating the invaders lies in the newly constructed fighter craft: the TV-202. This incredible machine has the ability to completely ignore gravity, fly in any possible direction with limitless maneuverability, and to deliver continuous thrust. Not to mention its supreme firepower. The fate of our race lies in the hands of the only pilot brave enough to fly that craft: you.

Terminal Velocity from 3D Realms is often compared to the [url=http://www.gog.com/gamecard/descent_1_descent_2]Descent[/url] series, as it features the same concept of free-roaming battle-zones. 3D Realms made sure, however, that their game had an unique feeling to it. With creative landscapes, challenging enemies, hardcore tunnel-stages, and many unique worlds to visit, Terminal Velocity remains one of the most captivating futuristic fighter sims of all times.

If you think you can handle piloting at extreme speeds, while avoiding moving obstacles, and shooting bandits all around the clock--join the air-force! Or, take the safer path and get Terminal Velocity, for only $5.99!

Fuzzyfireball: Like I said in the SW thread, more 3DR games finally!

Now, go convince Epic to release more here.

BJWanlund: Which Epic games (other than Jazz Jackrabbit, which it's criminal that that series is not on here yet) are yet to be on GOG? They pretty much blew their wad when they first came onboard, with all the Unreal Tournament games (mostly), and both Unreals.
One Must Fall 2097, Jill of the Jungle and Radix: Beyond the Void spring to mind.
OMF OMF OMF !
Great game. The way you can fly from airspace straight into a tunnel and then through the tunnel was unique for the time it was released.

The music is great too. Kind of a Rob Zombie or NIN vibe.

One Must Fall 2097 and Xargon are freeware now, just like Tyrian :)

Then they should be up on GOG as freebies. I don't want to give up on Epic, I want to give them my money for Radix, and epicclassics was shut down so I can't.

A good 10-20 are missing. Too lazy to list them right now. Check MobyGames.

gibbeynator: Problem is, I don't think Epic wants to admit they made games prior to Unreal, for whatever reason. We wouldn't even have Tyrian here if Epic still had the rights to that.

Played it a lot, was included as shareware in the duke3d cd.

Solar WInds, would love to play the second part of that very much forgotten space action/adventure-game from Epic, only played part 1 as shareware.

Also, Castle of the Winds, a rogue-llike game which I think ran on Windows 3.1 actually, another forgotten Epic game, would be nice to play part two as well.

Both parts were made free by the developer.
Spent quite a lot of time on this one. Good game, I actually still have it on CD ROM.
Hey, hey! Now this is something I remembered playing (only demo levels though) when I was a kid. The game came in a demo disk, together with Jazz the Jackrabbit, Hocus Pocus and Rise of the Triad.
