18th November 2006: The Thirteenth Floor Special Edition Update

Matthew Barich has sent in news about 'The Thirteenth Floor: Special Edition':
Floor/ceiling textures, light shading, and full screen mode have been added to TTFSE. They look spectacular. In fact, floor and ceiling textures have been created that are meant to go with the original Wolf3D graphics (you'll get to see what the original Wolf3D might have looked like with floor/ceiling textures.) But yes, many of the graphics will be touched up, and there will be some new graphics. Here are some other facts about TTFSE:
* The full version of TTFSE will have a new mission, The Final Fear. The tagline of this mission is, "What if Hitler had invented nuclear weapons?"
* One new creature in The Final Fear will be a giant spider (inspired by the Megaspider in Armageddon). This spider will be very common in very dark tunnels. You CAN NOT kill this spider, and if you touch it, you die INSTANTLY!
* There will be various random events that will occur from time to time. Also, enemies will, on rare occasions at random, drop special items when killed, like treasure, health, and even keys. If you're lucky enough for an enemy to drop a key, you may be able to bypass areas of a level and/or reach special secret areas!

Intergalactic Marine
It's the distant future and the forces of Earth are in battle with the alien armies of the Zkraax. The Zkraax's armies are pushed back to the 6th planet in the Nomad solar sytem. 10 cybernetic Intergalactic Marines are deployed onto the planet's surface, unknowing of a soon to come ambush or the secret weapon being built by the Zkraax that could change the tides of the war.
The Blazer Forces: Ghost Betrayal
The Blazers have identified a soldier of theirs who has sided with a group of Neo-Nazi terrorists who must be stopped. A young soldier named Jemanie Davidsson (pronounced Gem-an-eye Dave-id-son) has been captured by this enemy during an apprehension mission. NOTE: Ghost Betrayal will also come with a bonus text adventure version of the game.

12th November 2006: Space Loons For Wolf3D SW Released

Dr. Von Loon has released the final version of a new addon called 'Space Loons For Wolf3D Shareware'. The 10 levels are quite extensive. As the title suggests, there's a sci-fi type scenario.
