   extra goodies 
   
   1996 stormwatch challenge (again!) 
   That's right, we're trying that tournament again! All of those really
   hot prizes are still up for grabs, plus you might just score a chance
   to take on Sierra's best pilot. And if you can beat one of the guys
   who actually made this game, then we have one heck of a bonus for
   you...
   
   Check out RAtt and Lemming's new CyberStorm webpage for more details,
   and sign up in their Player Registry!
   
   HERCs R Us 
   Here's a little early Christmas present for everyone: 89 custom HERC
   designs, direct from the CyberStorm team!
   
   HERCview tool 
   And if you'd like to check out all 89 of those HERC files I just
   mentioned, you might also want to download this cool utility created
   by James Parker. ("Who's that", you ask? Well, if you've been trounced
   on Kali by a pilot called Madaxe, then you've already met James.) The
   HERCview tool will allow you to load and print out custom HERC
   designs.
   
   monthly easter eggs 
   Programmers will be programmers. And that means that if you think that
   there's a single game on the market that doesn't have easter eggs in
   it, you're probably going to be mistaken. Easter eggs are weird or
   cool "extras" that programmers tend to hide in the games, that you can
   only find if you hunt like crazy, get terribly lucky, or just know
   where they are to start with. We've been revealing an Easter egg every
   month, and you now have a complete list of all the ones in the game
   (or, at least, all the ones that the programmers are willing to admit
   to!)
   
   For the month of August, we have this one to share with you: Try
   naming a bioderm "Elsa". It seems that one of the programmers has a
   dog named Elsa...
   
   For September, we have a multiplayer version of the "Elsa" easter egg:
   Try typing "Elsa" in the chat line while you're in the invite screen
   in multiplayer mode. (Then ask your opponents what happens.)
   
   Looks like we're up to October, and we'd like to recommend that you
   try right-clicking on some of the bioderm facility screens in the
   background while you're in the Medvat.
   
   For November, we have a means of creating a multiplayer game with more
   than 12 units. First, load up one of your single-player forces with
   more than 12 units. Then, name one of the HERCs on that force Big
   John. When you go to a multiplayer battle with this force, all units
   will be there!
   
   Finally, for December's holiday treat, the last of the Easter eggs.
   Name a bioderm Kurosh to have him transformed into Kaesar's Genetic
   Matrix.
   
   stacking the deck 
   You asked us for the CyberStorm cheat codes. You pleaded for an extra
   little advantage over the computer's army, telling us that you didn't
   want to die. Well, since a dead customer can't buy the sequel, we'll
   just grant that request. We gave a comprehensive list of cheat codes
   to Computer Games: Strategy Plus Magazine. And if you want to cheat,
   be our guest. By the way, Strategy Plus' website also has a strategy
   article for this game!
   
   cool links 
   Want to check out a little combat action with your fellow pilots? Then
   what you want to check out is Nick Willis' Unofficial CyberStorm Home
   Page! He's setting up sanctioned matches and giving all of you
   adrenaline junkies a place to get organized. If I had some sort of
   little web-award graphic to hand out, I'd give him one, but since I'm
   not Magellan, he'll have to settle for a link and a kudo.
   
   And if you're looking for the ultimate in information about the game,
   the HERCs, the Cybrids, the weapons, the strategies, and almost
   anything else you might want to know about CyberStorm, there's only
   one place to go: HERC Base Alpha, run by Callidus. Be sure to check
   this one out!
