Shrapnel Games press release follows:

Have You Had Your Weird Today?
Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space Demo Now Available!
Hampstead, NC, 10 November, 2005

So you're sitting there at home when your boss calls. Apparently the big meeting with Initech has been moved up to tomorrow and he wants to know if you can hurry up and finish your three hour Powerpoint presentation by 8 am. Unfortunately that presentation is on your computer at work, and you're home. So what do you do? Why, you tell your boss to sod off and continue to play the amazing demo for Digital Eel's Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space!

Digital Eel and Shrapnel Games are proud to present the official demo for Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space (now shipping for Windows). You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll proclaim it's the best damn space game you can play in fifteen minutes. Why, it's not just a demo, it's a way of life.

The demo weighs in at 17 MB, so even if you're stuck on the International Space Station you have no reason not to download it. Best of all the demo is essentially Weird Worlds: The Mini-Game. Digital Eel simply didn't yank a bunch of features out and then slap a timer on the whole thing, rather they lovingly handcrafted a digital delight to showcase the wonders of the Weird Worlds universe.

In the demo gamers will enjoy commanding a pirate corvette in a full ten-year pirate mission, on a small star playing field. While the demo doesn't include everything in the retail game, there is still a dark matter reactor's worth of goodies. You'll be able to encounter strange new races (and crush them in combat), enjoy special events, and generally have a great time.

And while you could probably vigorously play the demo repeatedly until your hand cramps and you start to go blind, we know that at some point you'll yearn for more than just being the Galactic Blackbeard of a small galaxy. You'll want to see more stars, more missions, more events…more, more, more! Aww, yeah.

The full retail version of Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space is your answer. Adding five more alien races, fourteen more starship types, science and military missions, medium and large starmaps, mod support, and many more special events, the full version is the gift that keeps on giving. It even includes a battle simulator, perfect for when your inner-Federation wants to take a backseat to your inner-Klingon Empire. Heck, it's engrossing enough that it's almost like getting two games for the price of one!

Happy to see the demo released so quickly! I can't wait for my order to arrive.. should be very soon... the game looks great.

You can't wait for game to arrive , yet you couldn't take 3.5 seconds required to find yourself a better board name.

It's a good thing WW has an automated name machine:

"Captain ffggfgg of the starship kkllkll was blown up in spacedock before leaving."

[fgggfsgg]

Hehe, what you said is totally fair. But hey, there's a bit more too it. Well, not too much more too it, but a bit more . I originally used 'fgggfsgg' on the SAIS Federation forum because I anticapted I wasn't going to use the forum at all or play Sais very much at all besides trying some of the mods out there, briefly. But I was totally wrong on both counts! I'm a total SAIS junkie and plan to use the forums a bunch here -- I'm just so 'wierdly' attached now to the monkier 'fgggfsgg' that I decided to use it again.

[Hugo]

Well, it's probably as good a name as any!

Just make sure you name your Weird Worlds starship captain fgggfsgg so that when you post your highscores, we'll know it's you.

Great! Downloading now. Something to keep me occupied until my copy Weird Worlds arrives, well there is Civ4 too...
