> Terminal Velocity is a first-person flight simulator sometimes
> compared to [Descent][1] due to its free-roaming nature. Players
> take control of the TV-202, a fighter notable for its ability to fly
> in 720 degrees of direction, ignoring gravity and providing constant
> thrust. While flying to different planets, the TV-202 is able to
> speed up and slow down, but will never come to a complete halt. The
> majority of the game takes place in the air (and sometimes space),
> flying above landscapes which include trees, mountains, rivers, snow
> and other terrain. Additionally, tunnels can be found, often hidden,
> dug into the sides of landscape. Upon entering these tunnels, the
> TV-202 loses its ability to turn around (going ahead constantly) and
> must navigate avoiding enemies, moving walls, rotating obstacles and
> other hazards. Power-ups are found by destroying enemy forces or
> destroying enemy bunkers which are scattered around each level.

and PPC code onboard, but the 68k part is a stub entry only, which
will inform a 68k Mac user that the game can only be run on PPC
Macintosh and then allow the game to exit without crashing.

If an actual 68k version of this game exists, we haven't found one
(yet), but will add it to this page should it ever be located.
