Default Terraforming (The Syd Mead Shmup)

Has anyone else ever heard of this game? Supposedly its a Shoot-em-up (one of the last ones released for Turbo CD) that had art designs by the famous Science Fiction artist Syd Mead. (The guy responsible for designs for famous Sci-Fi flicks like Blade Runner and Alien) It seemed to get very little attention though, and despite Syd being involved, it got average reviews. But the game itself looks pretty cool in action. It's got some nice music and it seems pretty intense as well. Bosses look kinda lame though. But other than that, I hope we get to see it on VC.

Here's a video of the game in action:

By the way, I'm new here and this is my first post.

well the game looks kind of bland but anything that involves the guy who designed blade runner can't be all bad.

I remember seeing it advertised in magazines when the TG was still being sold.

I can see why it was so overlooked. Still screenshots alone does make the game look pretty bland. But I was actually impressed when I saw it in action. Someone reviewed the game on You Tube with positive feedback. And it seems the game throws TONS of enemies at you. And the music seems pretty damn good too.
