[ -> Update]

<A href="http://www.geocities.com/pyrrho12/progr ... earhead</a> has plodded along to a new version, which can be downloaded <A href="http://gearhead.roguelikedevelopment.or ... p">here</a>. There are now two sets of graphics files to go with it, <A href="http://gearhead.roguelikedevelopment.or ... ip">normal sized</a> and <a href="http://gearhead.roguelikedevelopment.or ... p">reduced size</a> for those with older machines, I guess. Here's a list of the changes:
 
 <ul><li>New graphics. Several mecha by Omega, several people by me. Plus there's now a hot dog cart.</li><li>New adventures and items. Want to learn more about GARU serum? Now your PC can have some!</li><li>Can now use enter key when attacking (gflooker.pp)</li><li>Fixed robot construction/weapon token bug (backpack.pp)</li><li>All personal items should now have mass (PC_Equipment.txt)
 If you find exceptions, please report them.</li><li>Fixed lancemate swap over water exploit(pcaction.pp)
 But, I added a jet pack to the equipment list.</li><li> Ejection on world map should now work properly (pcaction.pp)</li><li> Unpiloted mecha no longer moved on world map (arenaplay.pp)</li><li> Characters won't board immobile mecha (arenaplay.pp)</li><li> Items shouldn't be deployed in water any more (locale.pp)</li><li> Lancemates can now use SF:1 mecha (arenaplay.pp)</li><li> Added names-above-heads mode, NAMESON config option (sdlmap.pp)
 This was a frequently requested option; hopefully it won't run slowly.</li><li> SDL starts in windowed mode; added FULLSCREEN config op (sdlgfx.pp)
 There were too many problems with the fullscreen mode. It doesn't appear to work on any WinXP computers at all... I don't know about Linux, and haven't recently tested it on other Windows platforms. More work needs to be done on this.</li><li> Some new concept art uploaded to the ftp site, including my idea for the Savin.</li></ul>
 
 That should help some of you that were having troubles with the last version.

I have no idea what Gearheads is. But I got a kick out of the death robots thing.
