Indiana Jones 4 part 2
Robert Konrad, PR-manager of "Indy Project", writes:
As you can see on http://indyproject.de (title link), there will be an
Amiga version of Indy Project. I will see after it. Perhaps I will need
some more people, perhaps I am good enough myself until then to handle it myself.
See, it will take some time until the game is close to completion, and before
starting the port makes sense. I don't expect major problems with the port,
but there won't be a disk version :-(
If there are still some Turrican fans around, you should have a look at
turrican.emucamp.com.

Two new games (Website currently down)
Alive Mediasoft will publish two new games in April: Super Taekwondo Master
and Cedric and the Search for the Magic Sceptre. Super Taekwondo Master is
a 2D action simulation with one- and two-player modes.
Cedric and the Search for the Magic Sceptre is an action role-playing game
in which you play the role of the heroic Cedric who undyingly fell in love
with the daughter of the king. This love is reciprocated, but of course the
king won't let his daughter marry a commoner. One day the king's magic sceptre
is stolen, and Cedric now gets the chance to raise his reputation by returning
the sceptre. In the process, Cedric has to master some adventures.

Launch of www.amigan.com
On April 3rd http://www.amigan.com will launch. My work DNS server just
picked it up this morning, so do not be distressed if it does not come up,
it exists I assure you :) (look at www.qwhois.com to see). This is web site
is owned by the newly formed Grapevine Computers Inc., and will eventually
include many features, at this point I'm not sure which ones will be
operational at launch date. It is being run on a fully Pearl/CGI enabled
Linux web server with a secure site certifcate for secure online purchases.
The idea behind this corporation is that it will be 100% owned by Amiga
users, and at launch date users may purchase shares of stock no matter where
in the world they live (We've contacted the IRS on how to do this). We want
to compete with the very few online vendors of Amiga products that have a
monoply like effect selling upgrade parts and replacement parts for very
high prices for classic Amiga. We will also be a dealer for the new Amiga.
I've contacted Bill McEwen but I haven't heard back from him (he's a busy
guy I'm sure), to get the offical Amiga blessing. All shareholders will get
a discount on items for sale, and right now were planning on members of the
board of directors getting products at cost. Shares of common stock will be
sold for $1 US, and anyone can purchase a few as one share. It is a
privately held close corporation, in in will operate pursuant to the Texas
Close Corporation Act (my lawyer talking there).
We're also looking for a couple people. One, someone to translate the site into German
and and server as a coordinator and contact for operations for German.
Second, someone to serve as a cordinator and contact for operations in
England. Stock will be traded in consideraton for these positions, and they
will eventually will be paying positions when we get off the ground. This
is by no means full time (it's not going to be full time for me either, even
though my girlfriend sure thinks it is). Interested persons can e-mail
president@amigan.com . If their DNS servers are not updated yet, they can
e-mail tom@grapevinecomputers.com .
Further details will be released on April 3rd on the website. Anyone having quesitons can e-mail me.
Thanks, Tom Kisner, President/CEO, Grapevine Computers

Alive Mediasoft website down
Within 6 hours of Alive's new web site being launched, we have exceeded our
monthly traffic allowance! As we are already on our providers premium gold
account we cannot increase the bandwidth any further with them. The site is
still there but many people are find it impossible to get on as it's just
too busy. We are in contact with several larger internet providers to find
someone to cope with the traffic. As soon as we find one we'll move the
site and hopefully see no more problems.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but do keep trying - you never know it may
calm down in the next few day!
