oOo Release Notes oOo
Introducing Creatures 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the amazing best
seller. This amazing artificial life product lets you create real life on
your own PC. Explore the Shee laboratories and discover the all-new Norms
inhabiting a vibrant, living ecosystem - find the genetic splicer and def-
end your Norms against vicious and disease-ridden Grendels.
New Features:
* Environment! The play-area size is doubled, with a whole new section of
Albia running underneath the current map along the entire length (800x
600 is recommended). Changes are made to the existing map area also,
including the replacement of the Desert Island with a volcano. Weather
systems and climate are added to the Albian environment, as are hosts
of new objects.
* Artificial Life Technology & Species Improvements! Major enhancements to
the Artificial Life technology are now possible, including the definition
of organs (such as heart and lungs), improvements to the digestive and
immune system, and the addition of new loves and neurotransmitters to
potentially increase the intelligence of the Norms. Core brain function-
ality has also been enhanced, including the presentation and interaction
quality between user and Norm.
* Program Functionality! New applets such as the Kit, Albia Kit, Neuro-
science Kit and Object Injector add useful features to Creatures 2.
Retained applets are extensively altered as well.
* Larger Play Area! Creatures 2 has a map approximately twice the size of
that in Creatures. This runs underneath the existing map, and is in the
form of the Shee laboratories.
* Weather and Seasons! Global weather systems give wind, temperatures and
seasonal weather patterns to all of Albia and considerably widens the
scope for new agents.
Enjoy the game and stay tuned for the next episode in the CLASS PC saga!

oOo Ramblings of a Rufus oOo
There are a few things I would like to take some time to address for no
other real reason than I am tired of the EMail we receive. So many of you
out there are confused and it is about time someone sets you straight. I
would like to think I speak for the majority of the other groups out there
when I say this, but that is for them to decide. First off, we do not
waste our fucking time uploading to AOL. Everyday there is EMail fromsomegimp*AOL*COM saying that the release we mailed them was in 4 parts
and one of the disks was missing or it had a CRC error. Get it through
your thick heads, WE DO NOT MASS MAIL TO YOUR SORRY ASSES. Second, we DO
NOT sell CDs so stop wasting bandwith and our time with such questions.
third, the ACE compression is not OUR compression. Just like RAR, someone
else coded it, we just use it. This brings me to another point, it seems
that after our releases have trickled down to the average Joe files are
very often missing. No CLASS.NFO, no FILE_ID.DIZ, various parts of our
INSTALLATION program, etc. If the INSTALL.EXE does not work for you, this
means you have to MANUALLY decompress the game. Yes, the horror. Having
to do something as complicated as UNACE X FILENAME.ACE You can also use
ACE.EXE instead of UNACE.EXE. If you are still reading this and want to
know just where you can get ACE.EXE the answer is simple:
http://WWW.GAME-OVER.NET
While you are there you can also read about what has been released and get
reviews of recent games. This can be extremely helpful if you find
yourself getting a lot of FAKE RELEASES. If you want to know which are
REAL and which are NOT you should read a Monthly Game Report like JTF or
some of the various others. JTF can be found here:
http://www.mygale.org/~jtf98/index.html
Now that I have insulted the millions of AOL customers and educated the
rest I am going to answer a few questions the average Joe will be asking
themselves.
Q: Well, if you don't upload to AOL, Offer on IRC, have public FTP sites,
or have your releases available on the web, how am I supposed to get
your games?
A: Not our problem. Maybe if you DID something for the scene and
contributed in some form or fashion you would not be stuck with these
problems. Nothing in the world is free, if you want something you need
to get out there and earn it.
Q: Are you accepting couriers? Sites?
A: NO, NO, AND NO. Since day #1 we have not been accepting couriers nor
do we have any plans on accepting couriers. Stop EMailing us with this
question.
Q: Do you have a Web Page?
A: Does it look like we have one? If/When we ever do, believe me we will
advertise it here.
Q: Why are you such an asshole?
A: I am just very talented. Thank you, and see you in the next release.
