- Welcome to Ed Hunter, the unique new shoot 'em up for PC and PlayStation!
-
- This is a playable demo featuring a very small section of level five. You start the game
- armed only with a pistol, but a rusty old Gatling gun soon appears.

- and scorpions that you meet! The full game has lots more special weapons,
- each with different effects and rates of fire!
-
- Release date for the game on PC CD-ROM is 17 May 1999.
-
- The game comes with a DOUBLE CD of the Iron Maiden top 20 tracks of all time
- (as voted by fans on the Iron Maiden web site). The same 20 tracks are available
- in the full game and any track can be selected to play during any of the game's
- 8 massive levels, using the Music Select option (for reasons of disc space,
- Music Select is disabled in this demo). Full details can be seen at WWW.EDHUNTER.COM
