Rockville, Maryland – November 8, 1995 -- Epic MegaGames, Inc., a leading
publisher of shareware games, announces the immediate release of 3 HOT New Games!
* Available today! *
RADIX: BEYOND THE VOID! Ultra-cool 3D shooter where you fly down the
alien-infested tunnels of the Theta-2 base, and even deep into a massive alien ship.
The Futuristic 3D environment features hazards including enemy ships, zombie
aliens, missile launchers, crushing floors and ceilings, steeply sloped tunnels, tractor beams,
gravity wells and more, all trying to stop you from completing your objective. You have
7 weapons (4 in the Shareware episode) at your disposal to pulverize the alien menace.
Supports modem, network, and serial play. Multiplayer game play options include cooperative,
dogfight, and Capture the Flag.
JAZZ JACKRABBIT HOLIDAY HARE 1995! Last year's Holiday Episode of Jazz Jackrabbit
was so popular that we made a new Holiday episode this year! Holiday Hare '95 features FIVE of the
best, all-new Jazz levels yet, and a rockin' holiday sound track. Featuring the same fast paced action
that made Jazz Jackrabbit the PC Gamer's (U.K.) Action Game of the Year in 94. If you've never
played Jazz Jackrabbit you're missing the best PC Platform game ever!
* Available This week! *

You can! Send us a design and some awesome looking graphics and we'd
be happy to consider making it into an Extreme Pinball table! We do
plan on making another set of 4 Extreme Pinball tables next year like
we did with Epic Pinball.

I think he is more referring to the lack of a Pinball Table Editor. That after
all, was what really made the old Pinball Construction Set / EA (remember that
one?) popular during the 8-bit prime.

An editor would be fantastic, but things have gotten
decidedly more complex than they were in the 8-bit days. So much the
better, I guess...

Yes I do remember that game. They started the company on it. But times
have changed and people demand realistic, detailed pinball experience.
You can't make a construction set for that kind of game. Bill Budge
tried to make another pinball construction set for EA - it was called
Virtual Pinball. It was on Sega Genesis. It stunk big time.

I should add that EA did another pinball game in 1992 called Crue
Ball: Heavy Metal Pinball. It's was for Sega Genesis and it's still a
great game.

No way man _I_ was PCS! On my appleIIe no less. It was so great
when my os instinct would kick in and I'd press control break and lose
the entire table (that I hadn't saved yet). In fact I don't think I'll ever
forget doing that..
