AMIGA INC. AND HYPERION ENTERTAINMENT JOIN FORCES
<P></B></FONT>
Snoqualmie, WA. Aug 30, 2000
<P>
Amiga Inc. and Hyperion Entertainment are pleased to announce a long-term
alliance to bring Hyperions impressive list of award winning games to the
Amiverse.
<P>
<IMG
SRC="http://www.hyperion-software.com/layout/logo.jpg" ALIGN="RIGHT" BORDER=1
BORDERCOLOR="#ffffff">Hyperions games are a testament to the high
standard set by the
Amiga community. Much like the New Amiga, Hyperion has raised the bar to a
higher level. We are proud to include Hyperion in our future. We are
equally pleased to see such a steady stream of notable developers
validating our platform. Said Randy Hughes, Vice President Sales and
Strategic Alliances at Amiga Inc.
<P>
The initial list of titles being developed for the Amiverse include:
<P>
<B>Heretic II</B>: Already released for Classic Amiga PPC, Heretic II is a
gothic-style first-person shooter.
<P><IMG
SRC="http://www.hyperion-software.com/images/sin/Sin_Box_Front.jpg" ALIGN=RIGHT>
<B>Sin</B>: A super realistic ego shooter in a not-too-distant future
with an intriguing
plot to
solve and many levels to "clean-up". Sin is due in Q3 2000.
<P>
<B>Shogo</B>: Fight with your Mobile Armor Division Mech through
futuristic
cities and natural sites. Face a civil war in Mech mode or Soldier mode
in this award winning ego shooter, written with the famous LithTech 3D
Engine by Monolith. Shogo is also slated for Q3 2000.
<P><IMG
SRC="http://www.hyperion-software.com/images/freespace/freespace_12_t.jpg" ALIGN=RIGHT>
<B>Freespace</B>: Development has already begun and is to be completed in
Q4
2000. Freespace offers many space flights combats and mission for this
space opera among stars and nebulas. A great simulation for a great story
of space war.
<P>
<B>Alien Nations</B>: Development is just under way. In the style of Age
of
Empires II, Alien Nations will allow you to lead your people to survive
attacks from your enemies. Live long and prosper in the levels of this
great Real Time Strategy game.
<P>
<B>Soldier of Fortune</B>: The highly acclaimed ego shooter of the year
will
come
to the Amiga. Designed with the help of SEAL people, SOF is one of the
most realistic ego shooter. Experience fights against terrorists and
criminals, train to be better and always remember to shoot first.
<P>
"Hyperion will announce new games in the near future, as we negotiate
deals
with new licensors including some of the industry's biggest names. We want
to bring the Amiga the hottest and most recent games, as it was the case
in the great Amiga gaming times. With the arrival of new hardware such as
faster graphics cards, the Amiga will enjoy a new level of performance
allowing the Amiga to keep up with bigger and better games. Keep your
Amiga updated, stay tuned and roll on the Amiga One!" said Ben Yoris, PR
Manager of Hyperion.
<P>
<B>About Hyperion</B><P>
Hyperion Entertainment is a privately held Belgian company founded in
April of 1999. Hyperion aims to bring top-class entertainment software to
leading alternative platforms including Amiga. Hyperion Entertainment has
license agreements with many of the top names in the industry including
Interplay, Activision and Monolith with more deals to be made public soon.
<P>
Whilst Hyperions primary expertise is in the field of 3D engines
(LithTech, Quake 2), the company has recently been working with its
publisher Titan (<A
HREF="http://www.titan-computer.com">www.titan-computer.com</A>) on
expanding its line-up with
strategy and RTS games as well as RPGs and simulators. The results of
these efforts will be announced over the course of the next few
months. Hyperion Entertainment is also investigating the possibility of
applying its expertise in the field of 3D graphics to non-entertainment
related areas. For additional information, please see
