Version 1.1 of Radix: Beyond the Void Released! 

Rockville, Maryland-January 22, 1996 -- Epic MegaGames Inc., a leading
publisher of cutting-edge shareware games, announces the release of RADIX:
BEYOND THE VOID v1.1 and the v1.1 upgrade patch for the original Radix. 

Responding to gamers' feedback, Epic has released a patch for RADIX that
significantly enhances gameplay, control and the multi-player game modes.
Always striving to provide the best gameplay experience, Epic's designers
took note of what gamers were saying on the Internet about gameplay and
control in Radix. The resulting version 1.1 fine tunes the game to the
point that one tester said of the changes, "it should be Radix v2.0
because, in my humble opinion, it plays like a whole new game." 

Some of the improvements featured in RADIX v1.1 are: 

* Enhanced keyboard and joystick controls
  (mouse and keyboard still recommended) 
* New controls (e.g., keys for four-way strafing)
* Modified levels for better multi- player games
* Improved multi-player (Dogfight & Capture the flag) rules 
* Player's ship now features inertia/momentum, and a throttle 
* Registered and shareware versions now compatible for multi-player
  games 
* New cheat codes 
* Minor bugs in v1.0 fixed 
* Radix FAQ included
