------------------------------------------

One thing that was important to me when I started this series was to cover not only popular, good and bad titles, but also indie titles and obscure titles even DOS gaming experts might not know about. This is one of those games... sort of. It's not so incredibly obscure that virtually no one knows about it, but unless you're talking about games made in Finland it's one that's easily forgotten.

Additional Information and Corrections:

* If you want to download StarMines 2, just browse your way to: http://www.jarikarjala.com . Don't forget to send the author a postcard if you like his game! ;)

* I am aware that most of the gameplay footage was taken with the Friction option on instead of off. I didn't figure out the game was easier with Friction off until after recording most of what I needed.

* The standard grey turrets only take one hit to destroy. For some odd reason I said they take two hits when I was recording the voice-over. Weird.

* One thing I forgot to mention is that the hit-detection is extremely accurate, which can be a bit annoying at times when it comes to shooting things since the shots can move fast enough to actually skip over smaller enemies, or you can get rotationally trapped when close to walls. That said, I've never been in a situation I couldn't manoeuvre my way out of with enough thrusting and it's even possible to get anti-matter boxes out of the corners with some effort.
