=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
New Breed Software, developers of "BoboBot," the unfinished, free
"MegaMan"-style game for X-Window, has begun redevelopment, from scratch of
this game.
The new version will use 100% Simple DirectMedia Layer library calls
( http://www.devolution.com/~slouken/SDL/ ), include improved graphics,
3 smooth layers of parallax scrolling, sound effects, music, and keyboard
or mouse controls.
Since it uses SDL, it will be fully portable to operating systems other than
Linux, including 32-bit Windows (95/98) and BeOS.
Computer graphic artists are needed to help with this free, Open Source game.
If you are interested in creating animated characters, background or
foreground sprites and objects, or other art for the game, please contact us
at:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Information about the game, as well as a preliminary screenshot of what the
game looks like so far, is available at the following address:
http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/bobobot/redo/
If you're interested in trying out our first attempt at this game, a preview
release of the original "BoboBot" (as well as screenshots) is available at:
http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/bobobot/
Thank you!

PS - The old BoboBot preview has been published in the Japanese book/CDROM
"Linux Gamer", recently released by IDG Japan Publishing, along with
a number of other fun New Breed Software games!

Subject: XBlast 2.6 - Dynablaster-like arcade game for X
Date: Thu, 26 Aug 1999 20:47:33 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Hi,
after a short break of about 2 years, I found some time
to finish and release version 2.6 of the mulitplayer
blast the others game XBlast.
ABOUT XBLAST
XBlast is a multi-player arcade game for X11R5/R6. The game can be played
with at least two players and up to four players. It was inspired by
the video/computer game Bomberman(Dynablaster), which was to my
knowledge first programmed for NEC's PC Engine/Turbo Grafx. Other
(commercial) versions of the original game exist for IBM-PC, Atari ST,
Amiga, NES, GameBoy and Super NES.

| Eridani Star System announces: |
`--------------------------------'
Eridani's Latest Red Hat 6.0 CD ----> �3.00 each.
We also have available:
Linux-Mandrake 6.0 -----------------> �3.00 each.
Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 2CDROM set ----> �5.00 per set.
Red Hat Powertools 6.0 -------------> �3.00 each.
Eridani CDROM with Red Hat 5.2 -----> �3.00 each.
Red Hat Powertools 5.2 -------------> �3.00 each.
Linux-Mandrake 5.3 -----------------> �3.00 each.
The install CDROMs include an El Torito boot record, which, on supported
hardware make them bootable.
The Red Hat 6.0 CDs are made to order, and as such, will have all the Red
Hat updates to that time on the CD. Rather than having them in a separate
updates directory, we have opted to make them part of the install, so you
automatically have an up-to-date Linux system.
A large amount of extra software has been included on the CDROM, including
Corel WordPerfect (FTP version) and Sun JDK 1.1.7 (for the programmers out
there). Also now included are xawtv and alevt (for bttv-based TV cards), VNC,
SANE (scanner driver software), ALSA sound drivers, Speak Freely 7 and
SSH 1.2.27. Note this is not an exhaustive list!
These extras are stored separately to the main installation, and as such an
installation not using the extras uses only genuine Red Hat-sourced packages
giving a real, genuine Red Hat Linux installation.
A second CD is available, which contains all the source code. Red Hat Linux
is just too big now to have all the binaries and sources on the one CD.
This CD is also available, also for �3.00.
The Debian CD set is the Official Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 (slink) 2CD
distribution.
The Mandrake CDs are based on a Mandrake-sourced master.
For more information about the discs, and how to order, please visit our
Web site at:
http://linux.amush.cx
International orders accepted, but due to the cost of bank charges and
international mail, the prices will be slightly higher.
Sorry, we cannot accept credit cards. Cash (Pounds sterling preferred!)
and cheques drawn on a UK bank. International bank transfers accepted,
however subject to a �2.00 charge due to bank charges. There is a �1.50
charge for postage and packaging for up to 2 CDs within the UK, variable
for international customers.
