Cyclone Ii

High Risk Ventures, Inc., creators of PegLeg (recently inducted into Macworld Magazine's Hall of Fame as the Best Shoot-em-up for 1995), is proud to announce the latest addition to their Digitally Remastered Classics (tm) series. Cyclone II is the long-awaited sequel to the first game in this popular series. Cyclone started with the classic video game Star Castle, and updated it for the 90's, adding new weapons, shields, bonus points and challenge levels, as well as state-of-the-art color graphics and sound. In Cyclone, an evil enemy base sits in the middle of the screen, surrounded by three rotating shield rings. The rings are segmented, and the individual segments can be destroyed, allowing weapons to pass through to or from the enemy base when holes in the three rings line up. The base also protects itself with a never-ending supply of you-seeking guided mines. Your task is to use your trusty FireHawk 6000 spaceship to blast through the enemy's defenses and blow the base to smithereens. Cyclone has received excellent reviews (four out of five mousesticks from Inside Mac Games) and has gained widespread popularity. Cyclone II adds a bunch of cool new stuff to the original. More powerups to aid your noble quest for destruction. A new bonus level to challenge your skills and savvy. Three difficulty levels (Boring, Fun and Frustrating) to make your life easier or more exciting. Full color background starfield pictures to soothe the senses. Four channels of digital sound. Power Macintosh native code. And a volume control that goes to eleven, giving you that extra edge when you need it most. Cyclone II requires a Macintosh system capable of displaying 256 colors. It runs well on any 68K Mac, from the original Mac II to the latest Performa, and is accelerated for Power Macintosh. Cyclone II is a commercial-quality product, offered as $14.95 shareware. Enjoy!
