Read on..... -------------------------------------------------- I received an interesting Statement from Digital Images today. It would seem that the creators of the forthcoming SpaceStation 3000 have some extremally ambicious plans for the future. They have plans to convert the Excellent Wipeout 2097 and Tomb Raider 3 to the Amiga, now, your probably thinking something along the lines of 'no-chance' at the moment. However, maybe with your help the dream could be fulfilled, things at are an extremally early stage and at the moment its only a plan. Read the statement below from Digital Images, see what you think.... Statement from Digital Images. ------------------------------ Digital Images is a new games and software development company for the Amiga. We aim to make things different and better for the Amiga. We have our first originalstrategy business sim on the way, Space Station 3000. After that, we intend to convert some of the PC's finest games to the Amiga. The first 2 of which are Wipeout 2097 which is a brilliant 3D racing game for the Amiga set in the future. The other one is Tomb Raider 3. Tomb Raider 3 isn't actually released yet, but we think that Amiga owners should enjoy this fabalous game. The main problem is, the companies that own the rights to these games need to be shown that there is still a market for the Amiga, and within 18 months, that market will start returning to a good strength. The reason Myst and Quake were ported to the Amiga was because of hassling from Amiga owners. ID Software (The copyright owners of Quake) and Cyan (The copyright owners of Myst) thought that the Amiga died out at the end of the Commodore era. That is, until illegal demo's of both of these games appeared on the internet. These demo's soon got deleted from the internet after came from both of the companies. But, the Amiga owners who had seen them wanted the real thing. They hassled Cyan for Myst and ID for Quake. This is where ClickBOOM stepped in and bought the licencing. What I'm trying to say is, that you, as Amiga users need to hassle these companies for these games. Only then, can we hope to succeed. We would like you to hassle Psygnosis for the Amiga release of Wipeout 2097 and we want you to hassle EIDOS for the Amiga release of Tomb Raider 3. ---------------------------------------- Contact Psygnosis (for Wipeout 2097) on: Post: Psygnosis Napier Court Stephenson Way Wavertree Technology Park Liverpool L13 1HD Tel: 0161 832 6633 ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Contact EIDOS (for Tomb Raider 3) on Post: Eidos Interactive Unit 2/3 Holford Way Holford Birmingham B6 7AX e-mail: Jonathan.Ro@eidos.co.uk ---------------------------------------- Maybe a discussion topic on the mailing list....;) Groetjes, Thijs.
