Close Approach v1.1 Released

Abstract Worlds has put out the latest version of Close Approach v1.1.

Close Approach v1.1 Released hits the March 1999 news desk on March 30, 1999. Abstract Worlds has put out the latest version of Close Approach v1.1.

Apart from making some welcome improvements in graphics, higher screen resolutions, and 3D sound we have also fixed some problems that were introduced with DirectX v6 on Voodoo II cards. The game is a Direct3D accelerated asteroids style game called Close Approach, where you pilot your ship in true 3D space and attempt to destroy the asteroids before they collide with the Earth. The graphics and peripheral fight is not slowing down, which is good news if your machine needs one more excuse to eat your wallet.
