A registration bonus for Yuphex, containing "SIX planets, a secret level containing the meaning of life, a reverse gravity zone, more levels, and plenty of fun".

It seems to actually exist -- even now! Matt Bell still has the original files, somewhere.

Story

Five years later.

The Yuphlaxian System has been renovated. Plasmex has been sold to the Aplon System, a boring galaxy of slime worlds in desperate need of variety.

In return, one Aplonian green planet named Slimex has been brought here.

Zip and Monex have been properly disposed of by sending them on an orbit into the sun.

Yuphex is still here, however. CGA and Mono were terraformed way back in 3167, over 250 years ago. Back then, terraformers had primitive graphics drivers that could only terraform in spinach green monochrome (with a visibly low refresh rate, which causes that annoying flashing).

Some of the advanced terraformers of that age could even do (gasp) FOUR colors. Anyway, the planets languished in an antique planet dealership until the Yuphlaxian System bought them in order to provide more low cost housing. Pirex was terraformed less than six weeks ago and is still full of molten lava.
