This is a MOUSE powered game, giving you exact,
fluid control of your spaceship.
HELIOFORGE is set in a large star cluster, which has been
invaded by a massive enemy fleet. You get to pick which
star systems to save first, directly from the 3D spinning
star chart. If you get badly damaged by enemy attack
waves, you can choose to enter a friendly system to get
repairs, extra nukes, and a much needed break from the
frantic action.
Everything has been predrawn, which makes HelioForge
superfast. All rescaled images have been perfectly retouched,
to make sure that there are no artifacts and no large pixels.
There are extra background graphics that enhance the
experience for accellerated Amigas.
There are HUGE, screen filling planets like Saturn, Earth, and
Venus. These gigantic planets are perfectly drawn, and their
size accentuates their perfectly round edges. There are twice
as many frames per object, which greatly enhances the smooth
3D effect that is the standard of a Shipyard Creation.
Because you are in a real 3D space, your tactics become
real. You can pick off the saucers on the fringes of the
enemy fleet, instead of going head on and risking your ship.
You're arsenal is augmented with super bombs that vaporize
just about everything on your view screen.
The game is loaded with special touches. If you are hit
with saucer fire, a StarMine, or a meteor, the screen will
shake and it will flash as it has never flashed before. When
the screen flashes, it washes out all of the other colors, and
when the screen cools down, everything is put back perfectly.
When you fire back, particles from the explosions float about.
There are also particles that fly past your ship that show
your velocity. When there is a supernova, you actually
see it and feel it's effects.
You get to oblitterate fleets of saucers, asteroid fields,
StarMines, and Ambiance Inhibitors. If you aren't successful
in your mission to destroy an Ambiance Inhibitor Matrix,
the sun goes supernova, tossing destructive meteor storms
in your face. You will win if you can completely destroy the
enemy presence in the star cluster.
The game is very hard, but you choose when to go into
the spaceport for repairs. This makes sure any player
can last a long time, as long as they can survive a single
attack group.
The whirr of the Amiga's hard drive becomes the hum of
a finely tuned space craft.
Finally, Register the game with Pete W Storonskij, with
only $3 US. Then you can play, instead of watching the
computer players having all of the fun :)
*** SHIPYARD HEADQUARTERS ***
At the Shipyard, I create video games. It's really fun
to do. I try to keep my games as diverse as possible, and
to create works in as many genres as possible. It is this
dedication to varied genres that so few have even tried to
do, that is the essence of the Shipyard. This enables you to
find more of what you want in one place.
My creations are of the highest quality, and with the
extremely low cost that I have pioneered, well worth anyone's
resources.

who ran the "swine" account has retired and moved to
California, taking his system with him :)
Load up the game, sit back, and enjoy the 3D space blasting
experience that HelioForge is created for.
