RELEASE NOTES

Setting new graphical and game-play standards, Tellurian Defence offers
you the excitement of intense flight combat combined with the challenge
of strategic warfare as you defend Earth from alien attacks.

The game is set in the early 21st century when Earth is recovering from
an environmental apocalypse caused by an asteroid belt showering down a
storm of meteorites onto the planet surface. This new Earth, where water
levels have risen, tornadoes and electrical storms wreak havoc daily and
cities have been obliterated, is depicted in huge graphically elaborate
3D environments. Landscape for each level extends over 16,000 km square
yet detailed post-environmental disaster landmarks are present by which
you can navigate your craft. 'Living' environments are included with
cinematic real-time effects in refined detail. Fly over the new
landscape or take your craft underwater down 5th Avenue!

The planet rebuild is nearing completion when suddenly you're under
attack again! Tellurian Defence begins as the Earth Defence Organisation
discovers that it is fighting an alien race which swarms the
stratosphere. It has already destroyed most of the remaining
communication satellites and military bases and is beginning to abduct
civilians. You are recruited as a member of a small squadron of fighters
whose strength, agility and tactical ability will be key to saving
Earth.

Tellurian Defence offers over thirty missions each within a different
location over Earth and a player adaptable structure which means that
there is always more than one way to achieve an objective. Strategic
elements such as resource management and allocation and genetic
engineering enable sophisticated control of weapon manufacture, craft
upgrade and wingmen genetics. The missions have been scripted by Morgan
Gendel, famed as writer of 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' and 'Deep
Space Nine' and vary from pure combat to undercover reconnaissance.

Install Info

Unzip and use our installer or unpack the aces manually. Import the
telur.reg. If you haven't installed DXMedia yet, start DXMedia.exe in
the install dir. Run the game with GAME.EXE and make sure you set up
your gfx card the first time you run it.

Just for the case some certain limeys wonder: this is a german store
final.

Addendum

January hasn't been a good month for our competition - and for the game
scene as a whole. We find it very disturbing that our competition feels
it's necessary to release as many crap, dupe, beta and nonworking titles
as they did this month. We in PDM believe that releasing only quality
games in well done rips with working cracks is what the game scene
should really be about - and not using it as a playground for egomanics.
