<b>Eyetech launches Eye-Play - a division dedicated to the
publishing and distribution of high end games for the Classic
and NG Amiga platforms</b>
<p>
Eyetech - recently chosen by Amiga as their partner for the
manufacture and distribution of the new DevBox in the UK and
Ireland - have launched Eye-Play, a division dedicated to the
publication, promotion and distribution of top-end games for
the Classic Amiga architecture and, more significantly, for
those currently in development which are designed to run under
the new Amiga OE.
<p>
In launching Eye-Play Group Managing Director, Alan Redhouse,
said: "We are very excited about the opportunities that the
new Amiga OE offers both to the existing Amiga Community and
to the converts it will quickly make from the wider leisure
computing world. As with every significant leisure computing
platform to date - the Sinclair spectrum of the early 80's,
the Classic Amiga of the late 80's/mid 90's and the
multimedia PC of the late 90's - great gaming software is
what will drive the growth and general acceptance of the
Amiga OE as the defacto standard in this market. We therefore
strongly believe that good gaming software is going to be
essential to the success of the Amiga OE in the end-user
market We therefore decided to launch Eye-Play now, well
in advance of the end user version of the Amiga OE becoming
available."
<p>
"As well as teaming up with the best of todays Amiga games
developers, we are also keen to help any new games writers
make their fortune by using the new Amiga SDK to write for
the platform-independant Amiga OE. ."
<p>
"However no matter how keen we all are to see new Amiga
titles, we will apply the same rigourous standards of
selection and quality assurance to the Eye-Play titles that
has been our hallmark in hardware and serious software
distribution. We only intend to distribute software which is
both upmarket and, in our opinion, worth the money in terms
of delivered quality and gameplay. As this is an area of
quality assurance that can really only be evaluated by a
dedicated gamer we have taken on a seasoned PC (NVidea2-DDR
etc) games player who also has very good Amiga knowledge to
run the Eye-Play division"
<p>
As well as publishing their works Eyetech have also commited
to help out individual developers who are new to the
platform by making their Amiga-endorsed EZDev-Plus and
EZDev-Tower developer systems available on concessionary
terms.
<p>
Eyetech are also catering for the lower-spec'd Classic Amiga
by making a number of 68x00 classic Amiga games titles and
compilations available - mostly for purchase via download
only. There will also be also be some freely downloadable
Classic games, and download demos of new and
'work-in-progress' titles for both Classic and Amiga OE
titles. The Eye-Play websites (eye-play.com, .co.uk,
.eu.com) will be open for business from the Eye-Play
launch date - 1st July 2000.
<p>
Gary Peake who heads up Amigas own Amigatainment support
team said "We are delighted that Eyetech - one of Amiga
Inc's first partners from the Classic Amiga Community - has
decided to endorse the Amiga OE with such enthusiasm. The
new Amiga OE will bring tremendous benefits to games
developers - both new and established - by delivering
truly amazing levels of multimedia performance and binary
compatiblity across a wide range of hardware and operating
systems. We know Eyetech will bring a great deal of
integrity and professionalism to the serious gaming market
and their dedicated Eye-Play division will, I know, help
spread the word about the Amiga OE and its talented
developers to dedicated gamers everywhere and take us a
significantly nearer our ultimate goal of the
implementation of the total Amiverse vision."
