Not much to report. There has been some talk about Genesis being released by the end of the year.. but that's just wishful thinking. I have also seen a release date that says late 2k, and that's more like it. Anyhow Alliance is supposedly due some months into the next millenium.

The Electronic Entertainment Expo is going to be held from May 13th to 15th in Los Angeles. This is the number one place for the gaming industry to strut their stuff. Here we will see the new games, how far they have gotten on others.. (Alliance, Gensis) It is very interesting and
I would have loved to be there and have a look around. They have their own webpage, there's not much there yet but..

E3Expo Homepage

For those of you that are somehow connected to the internet, uhm, I guess that means all of you that can read this.. Here's a funny little wave file that your mail program can notify you with, if a mail should be sendt to you, while your logged on. You might recognize it from Interceptor.

A short while ago, a logo for Genesis was released. And not surprisingly (when you look at it), this is as I have understood, not the final logo. It is said to have been a bit rushed..

Frankly.. it's the Interceptor logo with Genesis text.

There are two new websites that you should have a look at. Both of them reasonably new.

The first one is a regular XCom site, with news, files, etc..
Have a look at Dark Earth

The second one is a more specialized site.
This one is totally devoted to one subject:
X-Com Conversion for Half-Life

For those of you that don't know what Half-Life is.. It's a game like Quake and Doom, there are monsters, corridors and lots of action. Only, I thought Half-Life was so much more than that, It was.. well just great!
