Press Release  Battlecruiser 3000ad FREE to the gaming public
For immediate release
February 12, 1998
Atlanta  Today, in a dramatic move Derek Smart - designer and
developer of
Battlecruiser 3000ad, announced in a lengthy open letter his intent to
provide
Battlecruiser 3000ad, a version known as v1.01D7c, released free to
the public.
In the letter, Derek describes, in his own words, many of the trials
and
tribulations he's gone through in bringing this game to market and the
reasons
for giving away the product just two weeks after regaining all rights
to the
franchise from former publisher, Take Two Interactive Software. The
mutual
release, signed just two weeks ago, marked the end of a chapter in the
saga of
BC3K, possibly the most storied game in the history of the PC.
Detailing the journey from vaporware to reality, Derek addresses his
feelings
on many issues surrounding his game, including his desire to see his
dream
realized.
While details concerning the commercial release of the upcoming v2.0
which,
among other advanced features will support 3Dfx and Rendition
accelerators, are
still up in the air, Derek reaffirms his commitment to his gamers
worldwide and
concerns about an industry his company has worked so hard to
contribute to.
The FREE version of the game will be available in 11 file segments
from the
3000AD web site as well as several on-line sites that have agreed to
host the
files for their readers. Derek has also offered gaming publications
the option
to carry it on their CD issues. 
At precisely 1201AM EST on February 13th 1998, the files will be
available in
the cargo bay at 
www.3000ad.com
 for online sites to download and post
on their
own sites. Before hosting these files, you MUST read the corresponding
text
available at the link below and adhere to the conditions therein.

Zeta, sperando che non ci siano problemi di copyright, ma non credo.
Se siete interessati date un occhio ai follow up del suddetto post,
qualcuno è veramente carino e degno di comparire in "Rumori di fondo",
Beretta, siamo tutti con te!! :)
Saluti...e se qualcuno intendesse scaricare da solo 53 MB circa, me lo
faccia sapere ;)

Ciao.
Sinceramente non ho provato il dawnload di persona, ma molti miei
amici, sia in Italia, sia negli states, hanno provato e va tutto bene.
Pare anche che il gioco sia fico e bello tosto, a giudicare dai
follow-up del post iniziale.
Si parla un sacco della complessità e della necessità di studiarsi il
malloppazzo di manuale.
C YA!
