	AVSIM Commercial Review: Fly! Update
		Terminal Reality have raised the stakes in home flight simulations to a new level of realism allowing third parties the scope to add their own creativity to a level never seen before.
		Real aircraft once trimmed for different flight configurations will require a reasonable pull to displace them from their projectory, not the ultra sensitive fine touch that is apparent in the majority of home simulators.
		Terminal Reality have reworked ATC into a more reliable structure with the latest patch and given the voices a better radio sound.

	Terminal Reality's "4x4 Evolution" - Ford at Off-Road.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Sad really, since most of us dyed in the wool, off-road types also have a PC or game console to keep us occupied when we're not out breaking axles, and causing the "environmentally correct" one sort of conniption fit or another.
		The game's realism is usually nonexistent, gameplay is even worse, and the graphics look like they were really hot when the Atari hit the market back in the 80's.
		Terminal Reality is finishing up work on "4x4 Evolution", a game that's making it's way to store shelves in plenty of time for the holiday season.

	3D Realms News: The Apogee Legacy #17 - Mark Randel
		Mark is one of the founders of and is the current CEO/Owner/President of Terminal Reality.
		The potential for working with Apogee was really attractive: at that time they were the premier publisher for independent game studios trying to make it big in the industry.

		Terminal Reality’s goal seems to be making an enjoyable, albeit bloody, game by meshing identifiable elements from other sources.
		Hopefully, Terminal Reality decides on the Z-targeting system, which became vogue after The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, but it's more likely to handle like Max Payne.

	Terminal Reality Inc.'s FLY! The making of a simulator Flight Journal - Find Articles
		Terminal Reality Inc. (TRI) is in a gray, nondescript, one-story building in the northern suburbs of Dallas, Texas.
		From the outside, it could be anything, but inside, the constant undertone of grunge music and the fact that-with the exception of the motherly receptionist-almost all the employees are Levi'd, flannel-shirted and goateed young guys suggests that it has something to do with the computer industry.
		TRI wanted users to be able to look around the cockpit, just as a pilot in a real aircraft sees everything that's visible working from any conceivable view.

	Applelinks.com: Review - 4x4 Evolution
		Instead, Terminal Reality went with a more striking, solid approach from the Old Navy school of design.
		Despite the beta status and the relatively small number of users, Terminal Reality threw it on (albeit unsupported), indicating to at least this reviewer that they intend to continue pushing the envelope.
		I assume this is because, as in Fly!, terminal reality licensed actual vehicles from real companies, and I doubt these companies want to see their products wrapped around tree trunks or in halves on either side of the railroad tracks.

		Terminal Reality, a six-song album-quality EP from one of Florida's hottest unsigned bands, is being unleashed on the world May 15.
		Terminal Reality was created in late 1992 at Morrisound Recording Studio in Tampa with producer Scott Burns, a household word in metal circles through his work with Sepultura, Obituary, Death and many others.
		To be honest, there's probably no really new death metal bands that are unique or original anymore.
