Trivia
You can edit this game quite easily - the weapon frames are TGA files!!! As are the other objects (satellite dishes, guards etc)

I picked up a copy of this game at a mall, thinking it was just a game. Well, as it turns out, not only was it a game, but it incuded a speech engine and built-in level editor. The speech engine was IBM's technology, and the level editor was available through the menu (after hitting a sequence of keys, I forget it now, but if you look through the program with a hex editor, you'll see it).
Rebel Moon Rising came into fame as being one of the first games to support the 'MMX Instruction Set' on MMX-enabled Pentium chips. Unlike other MMX-enabled games at that time, Rebel Moon Rising actually used MMX for something useful, and achieved 16-bit color textured rendering at the same speed (or faster) than 8-bit rendering.
