HIGH RISK VENTURES ADDS CYCLONE II TO ITS DIGITALLY REMASTERED CLASSICS
SERIES

Eugene, OR -- February 15th, 1996 -- High Risk Ventures, Inc., creators of
PegLeg (recently inducted into Macworld Magazine's Hall of Fame as the
Best Shoot-em-up for 1995), is proud to announce the latest addition to
their Digitally Remastered Classics series. Cyclone II is the long-awaited
sequel to the first game in this popular series.

Cyclone started with the classic video game Star Castle (created in 1980 by
Cinematronics), and updated it for the 90's, adding new weapons, shields,
bonus points and challenge levels, as well as state-of-the-art color
graphics and sound. In Cyclone, an evil enemy base sits in the middle of
the screen, surrounded by three rotating shield rings. The rings are
segmented, and the individual segments can be destroyed, allowing weapons
to pass through to or from the enemy base when holes in the three rings
line up. The base also protects itself with a never-ending supply of
you-seeking guided mines. Your task is to use your trusty FireHawk 6000
spaceship to blast through the enemy's defenses and blow the base to
smithereens. You have an impressive arsenal at your command, but beware
the enemy's plasma cannon! If you have a shot at the enemy base through
the shield rings, the base has a shot at you in the other direction, and
his shots are much bigger than yours!

Cyclone has received excellent reviews (four out of five mousesticks from
Inside Mac Games) and has gained widespread popularity. Cyclone II adds a
bunch of cool new stuff to the original. More powerups to aid your noble
quest for destruction. A new bonus level to challenge your skills and
savvy. Three difficulty levels (Boring, Fun and Frustrating) to make your
life easier or more exciting. Full color background starfield pictures to
soothe the senses. Four channels of digital sound. Power Macintosh native
code. And a volume control that goes to eleven, giving you that extra edge
when you need it most.

We won't try to motivate you to play Cyclone II with a trite story about
evil aliens and a lone space hero protecting the galaxy from some
horrendous fate. If you need to justify your recreation, think of it as a
hand-eye coordination workout. Cyclone II is also excellent low-impact
fat-burning aerobic exercise, allowing the player to sustain an increased
heart rate almost indefinitely, with very little potential for damage to
fragile joints and tendons. (In fact, we feel that Cyclone II should be
added to the physical education curriculum at all public schools. Our
children would grow up to lead healthier, happier lives.)

Cyclone II requires a Macintosh system capable of displaying 256 colors. It
runs well on any 68K Mac, from the original Mac II to the latest Performa,
and is accelerated for Power Macintosh.
