Release Notes ====================================================================== * Yay, it's true -- it's finally released!! * If you have problems launching it, and nothing works, try popping the SW CD in. * It is best played WITHOUT the SW CD, because we have some custom music clips in there. So, in the game, if you have the SW CD in your CD-ROM drive, press "T", and type "cd off". * Here are a few known problems: - The "Cool Stuff" pages are extremely hard to read. But they are not important enough to delay the production even further, we did not fix it. - As some of you should know, there is NO sound clip for the final cut-scene because we did not have the resources to do one. The original one is actually oddly appropriate, but just keep this in mind. - Yes, framerates do get a little choppy at times, but not very often. If you can run the original SW game very smoothly, you should be able to run TNE without too much trouble. The ideal system is Pentium 133 and up, but P90 should still do. * MAKE SURE that you turn 3D-Sprites ON!! (Unless this gives you problems) To do so, in the main menu, go to "Options", and go to "3D Sprites", and make sure it is turned "on". Because we have tons of them!! * If you have any further problems, gameplay or otherwise, please go to our website, http://www.wangsdojo.com/lightsout, and we'll be glad to answer your questions!! * Think you're good? Accept our "Gamer's Challenge"!! Go to our website for more details!! * Download the rocking main theme song, by Phillip Winwood, in its full MP3 glory at our website!!! * PLAY IT LOUD!! ====================================================================== I.

This episode consists of five main missions (many including more than one level), one secret mission, four WangBang levels, and a few other in-between levels.

Play Information ====================================================================== Storyline: A truly evil man, Zilla, after his humiliating defeat, is lit by vengeance. He set out to build another empire -- a much stronger, more powerful one. This time, not just in Japan, but around the world!! He set up secret facilities and military bases over every major country, guarded by, again, the creatures summoned from the dark side. Everything is secretive, and nothing was known about such vast, and deadly empire, until when Zilla launched a special, brutal, and surprising attack on an English federal building. The United Kingdom felt increasingly threatened by this mad Japanese man, and to relieve it of worries and troubles, the obvious solution seemed to be to call for its best secret agent to destroy this evil empire. This secret agent is, of course, none other than England's own James Bond, 007. With access to secretive information around the globe, Lo Wang learned of such plan of England. He was angered -- very angered, as he had felt threatened since someone else took his job. A man of honor and pride, Lo Wang flew to United Kingdom, and found the MI6 control room. He succeeded in capturing James Bond and locking him up in a cell. "No one takes my job!!" murmured Lo Wang. He was later delighted by the interesting weapons that James possesses. Lo Wang knows what he must do -- destroy Zilla's empire once and for all, with aid from Bond's equipment. Dressed in James's suit, armed with James's deadly weapons, Lo Wang turned around, and sneered, "I am Wang, Lo Wang." ====================================================================== Weapons Desctiptions 1. Katana/Fists -- These are still the good old reliable -- but this time, even more powerful than before, so you can take more joy out of some slicing!! 2. Throwing Knives -- No more of those ridiculously weak shurikens!! These knives are the real things!! You throw them 3 at a time, and the almost nonexistant reload time makes these very effective control tools. Add to the fact that these sharp knives are very powerful, you'll find yourself using this more often then you thought! You can only carry 48 of these at a time now. 3. Riot Gun -- First the bad news - there's no second fire mode. You can only fire one shot at a time. Also, you must reload after each and every shot. But now the good news -- each shot is now more than 2 times as powerful as the old riot gun!! You'll find the extra firepower more than worth the added reload time. However, you can now only carry 30 shots of these powerful bursts at a time. 4. MP5 Machinegun -- This gun shoots out a fast and powerful stream of bullets that refuse any chance of survival for your opponent. Because of is weight, you can only hold one at a time; but the added power more than makes up for it. Plus, no reload!! 5. Rocket Launcher -- This is exactly the same as before - use the rockets when you want some gibs, use the heat seeker when you don't feel like aiming, and use the nuke when you don't feel like fighting. Very useful, very sweet. 6. Grenade Launcher -- You won't notice anything different with this gun either. Use this off a ledge or around corners or over walls for maximum effect. 7. Rolling Mines -- HUGE change!! First of all, the mines will no longer stick onto an enemy, so don't try. These mines roll on the floor until they hit a wall. But they are no longer triggered by proximity. You must trigger them either by shooting it or rolling another mine into it. This weapon is perfect when you have a room full of enemies. All you have to do is appear at the door, roll two successive mines into the room, then get the hell out. Once the two mines roll into each other, the room will go boom, and the gibs will fly!! Note that these are a lot more powerful than sticky bombs, and have a much bigger blast radius, so use with caution!! You can now carry 50 of these at a time. 8. Rail Gun -- Same as before, line up the enemies and shoot!! 9. Guardian Head -- This deliciously disgusting weapon has three firing modes just like before, with the same strength. 10. Ripper Heart -- squeez the heart and watch your counterpart rip the enemies apart!! ====================================================================== V.
