Title: Desert Gunner

We worked on this as a contract, while the content itself is morally ambiguous, the GAME is fun. Some of our guys get some residuals, so if you like it, buy it :)

You may see it pop up in Arcades in the near future. Think of my guys when you see it ;)

Whoah whoah, are you part of Digital Fusion? O_o

Because if you are, what's with Beach Head 2000? That game gets freaking boring after the first 10 or so levels. :P

Ah. Now it's clear to me, thanks.

Desert Gunner is a short step above that, gameplay wise. Its not FS2 or even DHL, but I think we did a good job on it for what it is.

I think if I had to complain I'd ask for a little more variety in the audio and for a bit more responsiveness in the aiming of the various weapons - but other than that it was very intuitive and I enjoyed it. Cheers!
