Yurg, the Mad Russian of <A href="http://freelancer.ag.ru">Freelancer</a> fame, has passed word on to me that a <A href="http://www1.tepkom.ru/users/vi/TestE5.html">test demo</a> of E5, a <a href="http://jaggedalliance.com/">JA2</a> inspired game is available for download. <div align="center"><a href="http://www1.tepkom.ru/users/vi/TestE5.html"><img src="http://duckandcover.net/miscgames/e5/shot01tb.jpg" height="120" width="160"></a></div> Here's a bit from the <a href="http://www.ja-galaxy-forum.com/ubb/ulti ... 2;p=1">the thread</a> where E5 was "announced": <blockquote>The developers acknowledge that their inspiration comes from JA2 (in fact, the topic above is on a Russian JA2 forum). But their game is not just a JA2 remake or JA2 in 3D. Their main innovation is what they call the Smart Pause Mode (SPM), which replaces the turn-based mode (TBM). I know, some of you are probably thinking that this is some kind of half-assed "continuous turn-based" thingy that doesn't really work. Not so. In fact, you can download their demo and try for yourself (more on that later).</blockquote> Oh, those wacky Russian developers. God bless them. While the story for the game is TOP SEKRET for now, Yurg has told me it is in the near future and there are some nuclear weapon themes to boot. Oh, and if you try it, be sure to give them any feedback in <a href="http://www.ja-galaxy-forum.com/ubb/ulti ... ;p=1">this thread</a>.
