G-Rex with 5 PCI Slots will be presented on WoA
According to DCE the board was completely new designed and the production
has already started. The board will be presented on the WoA in Cologne. Two new pictures of the board
were published at CyberGFX-homepage. You can also look at
a picture of CyberGraphX on a Voodoo 4-4500 there.
Besides this there are news of the P96 team:
On Saturday the programmer of Picasso96 probably will be present on the WoA2000. Tobias wrote:
"Hi! Alex and I will probably attend the WoA 2000 in Cologne
on Saturday. If you want to meet us (register Picasso96 or complain about
our greed) just look out for us. The pictures on the Picasso96 home page
should be good enough for that. :-) C ya! :-))" .....click on their pictures

ACSYS canceled
After a last telephone call with programmer it is now official that the development of ACSYS (Turrican-clone)
will be canceled. In our opinion for 86 interested people (result of a opinion poll) it is not
worthy continuing the development.
If the development will be continued by a third person the following applies:
The complete code will be released as open source. Only the engine will be given as an object file.
If a commercial publication is planned percentage share of the profit have to be given to us.
The level has to be negotiated with the developer. If the game is going to be published as freeware
we will waive the financial claims. PD,- shareware or something like that are not allowed.
The level of development is at fifty percent. If there are competent programmers we would continue
working on pictures if desired.
We regret this decision and hope you show understanding of it. If you want to write something
to this topic please mail to the programmer because
I have no influence on it no longer. The homepage will be online during the next time. I will complete
the list of interested people if I will get mails with this content.
For further questions we are at your disposal via eMail:
Code: Joerg Belger
Graphic: Christian Sobotta
