Just got back from Epics homepage. Latest update says that Radix and
Extreme Pinball should be out this November.

But one cool thing. Here comes Jazz!
I really want to see if they improve Jazz at all, will it be a median
between Jazz 1 and Jazz 2. Of course, I loved the Christmas music on
Jazz Christmas '94, so I would just dl this to hear the music.
But anyway, I'm looking forward to what this Jazz will look like and I
want to be the first to download it...(wait a second, if I tell the
whole world this, then I'll never get onto the server <smacks head with
hand>:)

Don't get your hopes too high. Jazz X-Mas 95 uses the
old Jazz Jackrabbit Engine. It's still great, with new levels
and awesome new Music, but it is not an improved game
engine. BUT, wait till you get a load of Jazz
Jackrabbit II. It is in development now, and while I
can't say much about it yet, I can say it makes Jazz I
look like an 8-bit game. The Jazz 2 team has
really packed some increadible things into this game.

Watch our web-site, as the game get's closer we will have
screen shots and info.

The Jazz Xmas 1995 Edition uses the same technology as Jazz 1 but
shows off the quality of the later levels on Jazz CD. We're also
offering Jazz CD at a special prices ($39) through until January 31st.
Jazz 2 is a long way off.

We've just signed a contract to have a T1 line installed. This should
improve our speed and capacity by 30 times but it will unfortunately
by about a month until it's installed and operating.

We don't have any information on requirements
yet since the project is still in development.

I can tel you it is running TOO fast on
a pentium right now, so it should run fine
on a 486/66. We'll see as we get closer.
