The screen shots in the ad look pretty intriguing. tnx. > /Bernie\ Vortex was written by the same guys who brought you Dragon's Lair, and DataStorm. Visionary Design Technologies (VDT) of Toronto, Canada. The game is loosely based on the Atari arcade game Reactor, but with some serious improvements. I caught a pre=release demo of it in Toronto about 2 1/2 months back, and what I saw looked good. Great sound, lots of motion and game play. VDT says the whole thing is physically acurate (ie inertia, circular motion etc.). The idea is to prevent a reactor from going critical by destroyin antimatter?, and pushing cooling devices into the core. The vortex changes size, and speed etc. Is probably worth getting.
