The official Parsec site now offers a new LAN test demo for download, bringing their upcoming freeware space sim to build 0196. The full download clocks in at 82 MB while there is also an update from the previous build 0190 at around 14 MB, both available for Win32, MacOS, OSX and Linux. This release is not yet playable over the Internet, but it "includes new ships, new music, teleporters, a higher number of possible players, and various other enhancements and bug fixes." A new screenshot of the month is also online.
