Mac: Northland getting closer to release
The Apple Macintosh version of Northland is very close to completion now. The game has been in betatesting for some time now. "Northland", which was developed by Funatics Software for the PC is ported to the Apple Macintosh and other platforms by e.p.i.c. interactive. The Mac version will require at least a G3/350 with 128 MByte RAM and OSX. A OS 9.x version will also be supplied on the CD but the memory requirements are not 100% known yet. "Northland" for the Macintosh should start shipping from the middle of August 2003 and preordering from our webstore will start next week, when the demo version of Northland for the Mac will be launched.

More information on Northland can be found at: www.northland-game.com or under the title link.

The MorphOS version of Northland should go beta very soon. A demo version for the Pegasos and MorphOS can be expected in August. (ps)

Poll about the 3D map for Tales of Tamar started
Some days ago Eternity gave a status update of Tales of Tamar and pointed to the planned 3D map (Snapshot). Within the comments there were surprisingly little feedback about this map. To give Eternity the possiblity to get an overview about the interest on such a map we started a poll regarding that map.

Please vote only if you bought ToT already or if you will buy it definitely (maybe if there is such a 3D map). Thereforeso: Please don't hesitate to vote because for a programmer nothing is worse than ignoring his work. (ps) (Translation: ub)

G4: A few ammount of Pegasos I April 2 G4 available
The first processor card to upgrade the Pegasos is available now. Thank to the flexible, upgradable and open architecture of the Pegasos Genesi offers a G4 upgrade which will lead you to the next step of computer experience.

For the Pegasos are processor cards with a Motorola 7447 CPU which operates with 1 GHz and more available now. The 7447 is the newest PowerPC processor of the fourth generation (G4) by Motorola, which offers an increased performance compared to the recent processor generation (G3). Additionally to a bigger cache the 7447 offers more pipelines, an improved front side bus (FSB) and, most important, an SIMD unit called Altivec. Altivec offers a special on-chip vector engine, which is capable of operate more than one Gflops (one billion floating point operations per second) but is still affordable for an average user.

There is a few ammount of Pegasos-1/April-2 boards with this G4 card available for EUR 499.- (excl. VAT). If you are interested in one of these boards please feel free to contact bbrv@genesi.lu. (ps) (Translation: ub)

individual Computers: Retro Replay sold out
Retro Replay is a clone of the popular Action Replay for the C64. The cartridge was made in October 2001 at a very limited quantity, which is sold out now.

The last cartridge from the mass-production and an early prototype from March 2001 are now offered in an eBay-auction. Since the announcement of RR-net, a networking card for the Retro Replay, we had strong demand for the cartridge, and many people asked for a new production run. Unfortunately, the cost, and therefore the risk, is very high, because we'd have to produce several hundred cartridges in order to keep the price of 50,- EUR. Therefore, the interest in the auction will determine if a new production run will happen: As announced in the product description, we're sponsoring the "Retro Replay Party", it will take place in September this year. Details will be published shortly, but we can already say that there will be plenty of free beer. Nice detail of the party location: It's an air-raid shelter from World War II, which has no windows. Neither 2000, nor XP ;-). (nba)
