Hi Quake Fans,

Please check out the new UNREAL web pages at http://www.epicgames.com

and let us know what you think.

There are lots of screen shots and a few monster pics. The big brown

monster is going to change but you can see how he looks now. Yes, the

monster picures do show exactly how cool they look in the game.

There's also a very small Video for Windows & Quicktime movie of one

of the creatures (currently known as the Manta) in motion so you can

see how cool everything looks. The screen shots are all in 640x480

resolution which is the way anyone with 100 Mhz or higher Pentium

would probably choose play the game. Because it's in Windows 95 you

could, of course, choose any screen size if you're playing in a window

and there's Direct Draw full-screen support for 640x480 and 320x240

(for really slow machines).

Over next few weeks we plan to release a lot more information about

the game so please check in often. If you have any questions please

post them in rec.computer.games.quake as I check there on a fairly

regular basis.

This is the game that PC Gamer says looks "better than Quake".
