Hi, the last time today!
During the last weeks (before my holidays) there was a little rumor
about Aldebaran 2 and Lemmings 2.
Are they already available?
If not, when are they available?
Many thanks in advance

Just before christmas Krisalis sent out demos of Lemmings 2 to previous
customers with a letter saying that it would be available from the end
of January. They also offered it for 20 pounds, compared to its RRP of
almost 30 pounds. However, I'm not sure if this offer only applies to
registered customers (they probably wouldn't check, anyway).

The demo, btw, is identical to the Acorn Computing one (it even says
"Acorn Computing Demo" on its title page!).

Concerning Aldebaran, I can tell you that we havn't even planned to
write an Aldebaran2! So don't wait for it.

Now maybe you're mixing up with the 'updated' version we released at
the Show in November last year, which only has some new graphics.
If you bought Aldebaran, you can get a free update by sending you
original disc back to the address printed on the back of the box.

As of today, I've been given to understand that Lemmings 2 will be available
next week....
...but then again..........

No information on Aldebaran 2 yet.
