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!
I really enjoyed this one back in the day, I'm definitely picking this one up.
wow what a day! i prefer shadow warrior but this is great too!
Fucking awesome! Too bad, I've already bought it.

Now, kick MS for Fury3 and Hellbender.
Completely unfamiliar with this one but those are my favourite kind of releases here on GOG

Looks very cool, put this one on the wishlist and will pick it up later
2 amazing releases on 1 day?? Damn, have to wishlist this one for now, as I already took the other :)
Nice missed this when 1st release as was still with my beloved atari Falcon. Looks interesting and wishlisted for now.
Meh... I hate how GOG is only releasing new indie games lately. :P /sarcasm

Great game. It's been ages since I played it (fourteen years I think) but I have VERY fond memories of it. I'm actually still humming the main theme occasionally, despite the fact that I haven't heard it in more than a decade. :D

Whoa! I've been wanting to get my hands on this for ages! Excellent release GOG :-D
Now at least the people craving for old game releases should be pleased: two old releases the same day?

As for this particular release (Terminal Velocity)... I seem to recall it was mainly a technology advertisement for the new cheapo 3D accelerators from S3 and such companies. I don't recall it being praised for its gameplay, but then I personally only ever played some demo version of it, I think.

Wow I haven't played this in forever, but it came up in conversation a couple of months back and brought back some fond memories. I'm very tempted.
