Earth sends you as the pilot of it's finest spacecraft to defend against aliens that were once your allies.

Written by Mark Randel of Terminal Reality, Inc, the lead programmer of Microsoft Flight Simulator 5.0, Terminal Velocity was the first game ever to be released by 3D Realms, the 3-d game division of Apogee. TRI would soon after release Duke Nukem 3D.

Originally available on floppy disks or CD, the disk version was discontinued in March of 1997. Terminal Reality later made two sequels to Terminal Velocity, both for Windows, both distributed by Microsoft: Fury3 in 1995, and Hellbender in 1996. In late 1995, there was also a Fury3 add-on pack called F-Zone. Fury3, Hellbender, and F-Zone have all been since discontinued by Microsoft.
