It was released in 2000 for Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Apple Macintosh. Terminus won awards in the 1999 Independent Games Festival for "Technical Excellence" and "Innovation in Audio".</p> <p>Terminus is outstanding in its implementation of Newtonian laws of motion, which means that objects are subject to inertia. Once accelerated, they float indefinitely into one direction, unless again accelerated into a different direction. This makes steering quite complicated, but mirrors actual behaviour in free space.</p> <p><a href="http://macintoshgarden.org/games/terminus" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://macintoshgarden.org/games/terminus#comments RPG Simulation 2000 1st Person Vicarious Visions Thu, 03 Mar 2011 19:04:58 +0000 gajbooks 4157 at http://macintoshgarden.org
