If they didn't care about the Amiga they would have left long ago.
...
You won't hear this anywhere else, so just remember where you read it;)"
You can see a few sentences above, cutted off from the
exclusive announcement
of ClickBoom, provided to
AmiSITE, covering opening of their
new, portal based, website. We sincerely hope above sentences will help you to
read "between the lines", to better understand, why some company as well
recognized as surely ClickBoom is, needs to do their announcemt this way.
While no one prevents them from doing so, on the other hand, we can bet there is
not any Amiga news provider out there, not knowing about their "secret" page.
Or should we put down the article about ClickBoom, when asked to do so?
Well, it seems to us, that "Truth is out there", so, to be more positive, enjoy
their new service, because if it's good one, it deserves your attention...

3.2.99 Do you want Quake2 for your PPC Amiga?
|
Digital Images news
says it all - the licence for Quake 2 or Half Life is too expensive, so
the only change to get such game ported to our Amigas is to convince
ID Soft to port the game themselves. How many emial messages is enough?
That's the question. But well, it's upon us, Amiga users. Get all your
friend without Inet connection to bring you a text file on the disk,
and send it attached to email message to ID software. Let's hope
Digital Images will coordinate such effort...
