3D Star Figher Pilot
"3D Star Fighter Pilot aims to be a good fun arcade game, that extends the ideas and game play of the early 1980's arcade style video games, by replacing their preset flight patterns, with a far more advanced and complex form of opponent AI, that adapts to the player's actions, and the movements of the other enemies. (It uses flocking behavior AI). So every game will play slightly differently, as your enemies adapt to your actions, providing many hours of replay entertainment. In a sense, its like the idea of AI Bots in all the modern first person shoot-em-ups, but in this case, its a space arcade game."

graphics
The graphics remind me of the first space game to really show off Direct3D on the PC - Incoming by Rage. The graphics and gameplay are smooth, but without up/down movement, it is still a 2d on a 3d playing field and can get repetitive. Still, a good game - especially to show off your Pocket PC to Palm friends.

Sorry I 'm at it again.
There's 3 different types of chip in pocket pc's :roll:
I can't play that game on my MIPS.
Symbian game developers must be quietly chuckling to themselves.

This belongs definitly to some of the best 2d soft-scrolling demos I've seen on a ppc so far.
But why is it titled "3d Star Fighter Pilot"? 8O
This would imply that there are plans to develop it further to once become a 3d game.
Just some thoughts.

Perhaps it's called "3D Star Fighter Pilot" because it uses a 3D engine and renders polygons and 3D effects. I don't think you'd have to be a rocket scientist to figure that out. :roll:

There is a PalmOS version of the game. The gameplay should be identical, but the PPC version is naturally better in a graphical point of view.
