Exodus: Graphics card patch released
Andrzej Bugajny from the Exodus-Team asked us to release a graphics card patch for Exodus on our homepage. The game is said to run much faster with this. But you'll need appr. 100 MByte space on the hard drive. Exodus is available at our Amiga dealer or directly at Andrzej Bugajny.

Spiel: ToT - Tamar needs new land!
For the third time the popular action 'Tamar needs new land!' gets started.
Since Tamar is once again completely settled new regions have to be opened to give space to new settlers.
These opportunities are really rare and you should use these!
On September, 1st there's such an opportunity. Start with other players under the same conditions and show them that you are the one who should get the emperor's crown!
Learn about regions of Tamar that no man has entered before. Be challenged by dragons, undead and other creatures and show that you can compete with other real people.
Hint 1: Our price (250,- Euro) for the first emperor of Tamar who founded his/her empire after January, 1st 2004 can still be won and we would be pleased if you'd be the winner (rules for this can be read in the referring action in the ToT forum).
Hint 2: Enter the keyword 'Shareware' in the serial field when registering for ToT to play for free for some time. A round fee will be demanded when you are deeper into the game. Enter in the notes field that you want to start on September, 1st on new land.
Enjoy playing ToT.

Announcement: New Amiga game WizardGrounds
For some time now I'm working on a new game for the Amiga. It is called WizardGrounds and it is meant to become a small RTS game.
Now that I've assembled a first alpha I thought I should announce it. There aren't many actions right now and no end, either. It is just a beginning and is still in development (that is moving not regularly).
For now it is only tested on my A4000 and under WinUAE. I'd be pleased to get a little bit of feedback (e.g. on which systems it is running, etc).
Enjoy it!

RP-Online: Law-court dismisses suit against Grokster and Morpheus-creator
»San Francisco (rpo).
An American law-court decided that the authors of the exchange programs Grokster and Morpheus
are not responsible for the violation of the copyright done by the users.
Because the illegally exchanged films and songs have not been saved centrally on servers
of the software developer thus they are not responsible for the content of the files.
Thus the law-court dismissed a suit of the film studios and record companies.«
