Subject: Weird World Patch Released
    12/23/2005 1:02:27 AM
Digital Eel and Shrapnel Games announced the release of
the official Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space patch. The patch brings the retail version of the game to version 1.1, and includes both brand spanking new game enhancements, and an assortment of bug smashing. Here's a partial listing of what fans can expect when the patch is applied:
  • NEW! Scoring based on the difficulty level.
  • NEW! Enemies without guns now flee like the cowardly sporgborks they are!
  • NEW! Various command line and in-game options have been added.
  • NEW! Lots of cool new things for mod-makers.
  • (Fixed) Hitting F1 in combat twice kept the game paused.
  • (Fixed) Fighters can be rammed.
  • (Fixed) Lifeforms can now be found on frozen planets.
  • (Fixed) Mod banners not falling back to default folder.
  • and much more
A complete listing of the changes found in the version 1.1 patch can be found on the download page, which is located here: http://www.shrapnelgames.com/digital_eel/weird_worlds/6.htm"> />Simply download the file and run the executable! It's quick and easy, and your game will thank you for it.

Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space is the sequel to Strange Adventures in InfiniteSpace, which was possibly the first game to bring all the thrill of an epic space saga to your desktop in under twenty minutes. Weird Worlds of course delivers the same grandiose gameplay as its predecessor, and it still only takes about twenty minutes to play (though now players can choose to shorten or lengthen the time). New encounters, new lifeforms, new technologies, new starships, new events, and a whole warpcore load more can be found in Weird Worlds. Combat, while still avoiding the number-crunching intensity of Star Fleet Battles, is deeper, and is an amazing spectacle to behold.

Game Industry News (>>) rated it 4.5/5 and had this to say: "WWRIF makes a perfect gift for just about anyone who likes space and science fiction, even if they are not a hardcore gamer. Anyone can appreciate the literary humor found in the game. And the simple gameplay is easy to learn and difficult to master."

Weird Worlds can be found in the StrategyPage Game Store.
