ii. Description of Demo
We have created this playable demo to allow people to experience
a small sample of what DeltaV has to offer. This demo starts out
by running the beginning intro of the game. The intro will cycle
if left unattended. In order to bypass the intro and play a
selected run, it will be neccessary to hit the <ESC> several times
to get to the demo selection screen. Once at the selection screen
the player is able to select from one of three difficulty levels.
Simply move the input device over the level of difficulty and press
the selector key.
If this is your first time playing DeltaV, we strongly suggest starting
on the lowest level of difficulty.
Remember: we have only selected three levels from DeltaV. We have not
included any of the story line, mission briefings, tactical briefings,
etc. This demo is only meant to whet your appetite by allowing the
user to experience the intense action DeltaV has to offer.
iii. General Hints and Tips
DeltaV is a fast-paced action flight adventure. Below is a list of
several tips that will make you a more successful runner.
- Speed is governed by altitude. The higher your altitude, the
slower your forward velocity. In order to go fast, you need
to hug the bottom of the trench, but remember this will build
up heat and may eventually damage your trace.
- It is usually safer to remain beneath the trench lip. Enemy
ICE will have a much harder time tracking you.
- Some obstacles may require you to go outside of the trench,
but the penalty will be the greater danger of enemy fire. It
is a trade-off, so make your choices wisely.
- Energy and armor are valuable to your success. Keep an eye
on the green and blue bars on your HUD at all times.
As you progress, you will find new and hidden items to destroy or
capture. Be on the look out for Power Rings, Mind Fields, Power
Spins, Bonus Trenches and more.
DeltaV is shipped with maximum detail set as default. If needed,
game speed and playability may be improved by pressing
<alt-s> during flight and modifying parameters in the GRAPHICS
CONFIGURATION screen. This will be extremely important for players
with slower machines.
Thank you for playing DeltaV.
