Epic MegaGames unveils Epic Pinball
===================================
ROCKVILLE, Maryland, October 28, 1993 -- Epic MegaGames has released
Epic Pinball, a major new shareware game! Epic brings the massively
popular game of Pinball to new heights in technology, artwork, sound,
and realism with this 256-color smooth-scrolling masterpiece.
The shareware version of Epic Pinball includes one excellent pinball
table, Android. The shareware version is available freely from
bulletin boards, online services, and in other shareware channels.
It is "try before you buy" software -- if you like the Android pinball
table, you can order more pinball tables directly from Epic.
Your goal in the shareware version is to wake the Android. You'll
need to work the complex sets of ramps, targets, and lights. Epic
Pinball is complete with all the sights, sounds, and thrills of the
top modern pinball tables!
Epic Pinball consists of eight unique and amazing pinball tables,
divided into two packs:
Epic Pinball Pack 1: Android, Pot of Gold, Excalibur, and Crash and Burn.
Epic Pinball Pack 2: Magic, Deep Sea, Jungle Pinball, and Enigma.
Requirements: IBM PC-compatible with at least 640K of main memory, 386 or
faster processor, VGA card.

I have uploaded the 0pinball.zip to a number of FTP sites. (I don't know if
they have started to show in the various directories)
The following ftp sites have I uploaded the sw version.
grind.isca.uiowa.edu
ftp.uwp.edu
ftp.ulowell.edu
nic.funet.fi (soon to be changed to ftp.funet.fi)
archive.epas.utoronto.ca (this is usually for people with
the Gravis Ultrasound, but as will be noted happily by GUS users
it Epic Pinball has AWESOME GUS sound! :)
I will probably also post the binary to the apropriate
Usenet groups once I have it uuencoded. It is being busily uploaded
by Tim Sweeney and your friends at Epic MegaGames as quickly as our
little modems will let the bits fly! :) Feel free to distribute the
shareware copy to all your friends.
I will upload it to other ftp as I come to realize which ones are
good to upload to...
Try out the game. But Beware, It is incredibly addicting! (and I
thought I hated Pinball! :)
