Description

For the price of Terminal Velocity™: Boosted Edition, the legacy version of Terminal Velocity will be also added to your GOG library.



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.

Climb back into the cockpit! Terminal Velocity™: 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. Are you ready?

Terminal Velocity™: Boosted Edition is more than your routine flight simulation, with combat as the main objective, and a straightforward control layout to thrust you right into the action! Explore nine unique planets, each with three levels, dozens of tunnels, and miles upon miles of terrain to fly over. To support you in battle, you’ll have access to seven destructive spectacular air-to-air and air-to-ground combat scenarios.

Features
  • The view distance is majorly enhanced now, the sky rendering code has been updated to reduce jitter in the polygons, and the view is no longer fogged all the time!
  • Sound channels are now multiplexed into the 5.1 stream output of DirectSound to give you the full 360 effect intended by the original code with output on a modern audio system.
  • Achievements/Trophies are being implemented into the game for the first time! These challenges will truly test the mettle of all pilots.
  • Fast-paced flight simulator with combat and a straightforward control layout.
  • Nine (9) unique planets, with three (3) levels per planet, dozens of tunnels, and over 400,000 sq. miles of terrain.
  • Seven (7) destructive weapons, multiple power-ups, and spectacular air-to-air and air-to-ground combat.
  • Enemy ships cast translucent shadows.
  • Bank, roll, loop, and thrust bow-first into battles.

Ultra Widescreen support is great.

Sunk a lot of time into this game as a kid. There are pros and cons to the remaster, as others have pointed out. One thing I noticed is that to benefit from the resolution changes, you need to adjust the zoom level. By default it looks like the old game stretched, but with +/- you can get it looking rad on ultra wide screen, to the point it even letterboxes past the ultra widescreen resolution. 150deg POV or something in this game is wild. Very fun mindless classic arcade shooter.

Now, it's a native Windows game

The game suddenly appeared in my library, it took me a while to understand that I got it for free because I already had the original. Thanks! The biggest upgrade was the switch to a native Windows engine, so TV is no longer an MS-DOS game (or at least not this version). There are Widescreen resolutions, fixed audio sample rate and support for XBOX 360 controller among other small changes. For a veteran like me who has had this game since the 90s, there are few but good changes and I will definitely give preference to this version when playing. The engine change certainly paves the way for more improvements in the future if they so desire.

Free for the OG owners

Nothing new much added just being native to Windows and widescreen support. I just wish it have texture filtering and higher resolution.

Well Boosted would be the name for it.

Graphics are the same. Game Play is the same, but SMooter. Control, the controls are not reworked, and are lacking in every way. Price is to high for a basic, Make it work on modern systems quick fix.

Not fun. Controls can't be changed.

It's a flight sim. You don't use the mouse in the game though. You're stuck with Up doing the opposite of what you expect it to, and constantly crashing into the ground. not to mention that unlike Descent, this game has an annoying desire to let you roll and then force you upside-down or upright.
