Anyway, I found the manual for the demo...

Also on the website it says the demo was made for a certain graphics card, the Matrox Parhelia... in a few days they'll come out with a demo for other cards... so just wait.

I couldn't even get the game to start. Must be because I only have TNT2 and the readme said that Geforce 2 is a minimum requirement.

If anyone needs some help with this, I've figured it out. An odd thing about it is that when you tell a ship to attack, there is no indication that the order was recieved. Also, I think the mission was designed to be (almost) impossible to beat.

Here's a tip: When your ships are engaged, get your cruiser to drain the shields on the target ship, while your battleship trys to destroy it.

I was just talking about bad hardware optimization for IG3 just today to my friends...... I guess this is why it had the little parhelia icon (now I have to re-inform my friends....)

Actually its pretty easy... I beat it without losing a single ship

How?!

You know the last two ships that enter the system? they are far away from the battlecruiser and the other 2 cruisers... you take them out first. Destroy all the cruisers with the Phalanx guns, and then you can use your missiles and bombers without any harm coming to them. Also, you can select which system to attack, so you can specifically destroy a shield system of an enemy ship... quite useful

That's what I try to do, but my Phalanx never seem to work...

[DragonClaw]

the BattleCruiser of yours doesn't have any Phalanx... only 2 of the ships have them I think... the carrier and one of the cruisers.  Stay away from the asteroid field until you destroy the enemy ships, then use Attack Devices on the asteroids...your ships should use the phalanx automatically against the missiles.

Thanks Thunder.
