An absolute classic action shooter from the 90s remastered by its original developers – Terminal Velocity™: Boosted Edition is coming soon to GOG!

Time to climb back into the cockpit! As a remake of 1995's Terminal Velocity, the Boosted Edition is a 360-degree combat flight simulator, featuring a variety of different planets to battle across and a high-powered weapon arsenal to aid you in all of the fast-paced action. In the far future, armadas from surrounding systems have suddenly waged war on Earth. You are a pilot from the Ares Squadron, flying the fastest, most dangerous aircraft ever made. You’re outgunned, outmanned, and strapped inside a flying coffin. Whether you’ll survive or not is up to your skills.



Make sure to wishlist it so you won’t miss its release or any special offer.

neumi5694: Btw, there was a game very similar (basically the same game) to Terminal Velocity on Windows 95, which I remember because it was the first time I saw blurred textures on my Virge 3D chip (the first graphic deccelerator).
Fwiw the demo version of Hellbender was included on [some version of the] Windows 95 installation CD.

idbeholdME: Hope they fix the "tunnel bug". Every time you fly through a tunnel, the enemies get tougher in the entire level, stacking multiplicatively.
Whaat?? Are you sure, I've never head about this O_o
When I was little I even managed to finish the game (on normal).
I recall that tunnels were dangerous due to rotating obstacles, though, so maybe I avoided them as much as possible?
(I don't remember if they had objectives or bonuses inside)

Terminal Velocity™: Boosted Edition is now compiled natively inside Infernal Engine to run at maximum frame rate. It uses the original software renderer of the game to draw the graphic as it was released, just with enhancement for widescreen support.
This reads like the Boosted Edition would feature an unlocked framerate. Is this true? It would be very fitting, both for the game and the title of this "Boosted Edition" --- BUT:
The trailer is locked at 30FPS.

It definitely happens on hard and terminal difficulties. The game is finishable on hard, with some levels being pretty close (1 or 2 more tunnels would have made it impossible). On Terminal, you will hit a wall in the first level that requires you to go through 3+ tunnels.

Haven't tried normal or easy back then, but it's entirely possible it doesn't happen on normal as it seems like a bug with repeated applications of the difficulty modifier.
