Fury3 is Microsoft’s gaming product marketed to take advantage of Windows 95 in a fast-paced adrenaline-pumping space arena. It’s mainly a clone of Terminal Velocity and Descent. The engine used is actually the same one from Terminal Velocity, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself hit by a sense of deja vu. The gameplay as well as terrain and target types are quite similar to Terminal Reality, while the tunnel shooting sequences will superficially remind you of Descent.
The interface is the typical first-person perspective with six degrees of freedom. The viewpoint can be from inside the craft with or without your cockpit showing or an out-of-spacecraft view. The easiest control was obtained via a multi-button joystick and some minor keyboard commands. From an in-cockpit vantage point your instrument panel provides all the information you need to navigate through each level. Your chosen weapon, current objective, throttle speed, shields, and active radar fill your slim cockpit panel. The radar gives directional information and hostile locators that let you know where the enemy lurks and whether they are above or below you. The goal of each level is to destroy various targets and then find the escape teleporter.
By blasting enemies and objects, you will be rewarded with a nice amount of power-ups, including new weapons [your base laser has infinite ammunition, all other weapons don’t], a shield power-up and a turbo mode that you can use to escape tricky situations or navigate some of the more difficult, trap-laden tunnel sections. These tunnels have their own defenses ranging from moving doors, to rotating cylinders, and finally, each level’s “boss”. Destroying them requires some skill and technique, but after you’ve killed one, they all fall from the same basic strategy.
Overall, Fury3 is a great space-oriented 3D shooter. It runs like a dream on Windows 95/98/XP, and will offer a nice alternative for players who couldn’t run Terminal Velocity. If you’ve enjoyed such games and have a decent joystick, then feel free to give this arcade game a spin.
From there, however, it’s all downhill. Physics aren’t fully realized. Cornering is next to impossible at even moderate velocities. Successful navigation of even the mildest curve requires speeds well under 50MPH, forcing you to cram on the brakes to avoid a nasty wipeout. And it takes a ridiculously long time to learn how to do this without pulling a Super Dave.
Another annoyance involving curves is the standard camera setting. When bike riders lean into turns, they often crouch too low and lose their view of what’s coming up next. The game engine attempts to compensate for this by automatically swiveling the camera forward. In theory, this is a great idea. In practice, this led to severe motion sickness. Everything—bike, track, sky, and stadium—seems to be pivoting on an axis when you hit curves.
Visuals are basic, with very rigid falling animations. Audio is also plain. Bikes make that familiar, grating, high-pitched whine when they’re ripping around the tracks, but that’s about all you’ll ever hear. A similar effect, accompanied by what sounds like jackhammers, shows up when navigating the menu screens. Need I add that all of this is incredibly annoying?

The study was conducted to analyze the limitations of remuneration policies of state-owned enterprises [SOEs]. Currently the state has not focused on researching and reforming salary policies for talented people and creative workers. In addition, there are limitations in the development of incentive policies such as rewarding employees for outstanding achievements, providing comprehensive health insurance programs, additional convalescence and environmental protection policies. a healthy corporate culture ... to help employees balance work and family life. Based on the analysis of these limitations, the article provides some suggestions for SOEs to renovate remuneration policies towards the effective use of human resources.
