It is your fight against subversion that has allowed continued recovery. Over the last year market share has again increased despite production restrictions due to mineral shortages. The acquisition of Asio City makes the Union Group the second largest of the six remaining city states and represents the capitulation of the last non corporate city. The quality of the air being re-cycled within the protection dome that encases the city continues to improve. The predictions made last century about deteriorating public health due to ecological poisoning has been proved to be untrue. Even the toxic air outside the dome in "the Gap" has not deteriorated beyond the point of supporting human life. Security in the Gap has been a top priority. After pre-emptive strikes against random Gap villages, there has been a marked increase in community taxation receipts and a reduction in economically damaging "scavenging" raids. The Hobart corporation continues the abhorrent market policies eradicated decades ago in the Union Group. Their discredited policies of labour representation and social benefits for the "needy" contradicts the basic neo democratic principles agreed on cessation of hostilities of the Great Euro American War. Since the LINC computer system was assigned control of all city functions twenty years ago, a determined economic war has been waged, and is being won, against Hobart which has consistently sought to undermine the foundations of our success. We can congratulate ourselves on another successful year. And, as always, be vigilant, be alert. PAGE 3 ++++++ NAME: REICH S.

PAGE 28 +++++++ REVOLUTION SOFTWARE LIMITED --------------------------- The following information was extracted under considerable duress from a reluctant subversive. This group should be identified and kept under close surveillance. Revolution Software started life three years ago above a fruit shop in Kingston upon Hull. Born into the harsh world of entertainment software development, the fledgling company devised a system called "Virtual Theatre". The system created a real world with real characters allowing unique features to be designed into graphic adventures "Virtual Theatre" would change the face of graphic adventures forever. Impressed by the system, Mirrorsoft - the publisher owned by Robert Maxwell signed their first product, "Lure of the Temptress". A yachting accident put paid to Mirrorsoft but not to Revolution or Virtual Theatre. Revolution jumped ship and then re-licensed "Temptress" to Virgin games. The success of their first project convinced Revolution to further expand their ambitions. Working with top comic book artist Dave Gibbons, it was decided to embark on designing a new generation of graphic adventure. The blueprint for "Beneath a Steel Sky" was thus conceived. Two years later they are proud to present their work a significently enhanced Virtual Theatre system, driving a game that is six times larger than "Lure of the Temptress". PAGE 29 +++++++ Revolution is again planning what the next generation of computer gamers can expect. State of the art graphics technology is being used to produce images to be displayed using advanced cinematic techniques.
