e.p.i.c. interactive entertainment gmbh has signed a license agreement to port adventuresofts cartoon adventure "The Feeble Files" to the MACINTOSH.

The game puts you to play an alien called Feeble who works for the crop circle division of a dictatorial goverment but somehow get involved in a rebellion to overthrow the system. But you will quickly learn that Rebellion really has never looked so pAtHeTiC.

The Feeble Files features:

  • around 80 locations to visit
  • more than 6000 voice lines to interact with
  • dozens of citizens to meet and laugh at
  • professionally rendered characters
  • over 20 actors used for recording the soundtrack
The MAC version will require a 180 Mhz PPC CPU, MacOS 8.6 or higher and 32 MByte Ram. The game is scheduled for release in May 2001. You will find more detail on the game in the projects section of our homepage.

A version for the alternative PPC OS MorphOS is also planned.

MorphOS isn't a global player against Linux, Win or even BeOS
as this is very unrealitic IMHO (btw: Amiga Inc. wants to be that...).
But MorphOS is an OS for users that want to use the advantages of the
AmigaOS combined with modern hardware and a modern OS kernel, simply
because they are used to with AmigaOS.
And as you can see in the current "Amiga market" and in the AROS
project there are people willing to get such an OS.

Same applies to Amiga Inc.

MorphOS is NO player at all. It a bunch of hobby coders with some very fanatic unrealistic zealots. It's more like a sekte to me....

Please tell me what people do work for example at H&P and finished OS
3.5 or 3.9?
Do you really think they get a regular wages? They are most of
all students, are also hobby programmers as they don't work there
on a regular every-day base and only get payed if OS3.9 sells good.
If it doesn't sell good they get less money.
I hope you never use mmu.library by Thomas Richter(or MuForce,
PoolMem etc.) or any other freeware/shareware program because the
autors are all a bunch of hobby programmers.
There was once a time when some hooby programmers saved the Amiga over
8 years.

Yes yes you're right. If there wasn't Frank Mariak we wouldn't have
neither CyberGFX nor Picasso 96 (he wrote the original Picasso software
P96 is based on). Also if there wasn't Ralph we wouldn't have working
ppc cards either and Haage&partner couldn't ever make WarpOS if the
ppc lib didn't exist... Oh yes yes they are just hobbyists... The fact
that the old company they were employed is now tits makes they hobbyists
and make all their work crap... Then, even the fact that they are employed
from Bplan and make their project under the Bplan name still doesn't restore
then, right?
I prefer a middle "road"...
I am neither a MorphOS fanatic nor a Haage&Partner fanatic. I asure you
that if there was a way to run both MorphOS and OS 4 at once I would...
I believe that your attitide is TOTALLY wrong because ignoring one product makes
you actually lose. We are not a huge market with lots of software where you
could just say I don't like this and the one I'll use is the best.
A USER that wants to have it all must run everything possible,
for example the best amiga pictures ever made are made not from one gfx
package but from every package you could imagine! I saw a pic once
that was made with LightWave, ImageFX, Photogenics, ArtEffect and
Personal Paint! It was BRILLIANT!

The site is called AMIGA Network News, stop posting NON Amiga news here which only supports competing platforms, and goes towards kill AmigaOS and the Amiga's owners.

Uh? So what are you trying to tell me? MorphOS is a hobby approach to an OS while there wasn't supposed to be a PPC version of AmigaOS. But now there is (will be for all the MorphOS lovers), so what's the whole issue about MorphOS...it's obsolute..

There WAS a time when hobby coders kept the amiga "alive". But they never wanted to be the captain. Now there's a group of hobbycoders trying to play the captain on AInc's ship. So now there IS a time when *some* hobbycoders try to let the amiga "die" in favour of their hobby project. But afcourse you have your own view on this. The view which is always happily received on amiga-news.de )-]

Oh yeah, were talking about EPIC here....hmm... they left the amiga some time ago, so there's no need to post this stuff on ANN. Nice that they are willing to loose some money. Nobody can epect a morphOS version to sell more then 500 copies (that's 100 for the MorphOS team, 250 for David scheibler and the rest....wel... )

In reply to Comment 10 (Amifan):
Sorry but I miss your point here... Which part of it is obsolete? In it's
latest release it's stable and LOTS of AmigaOS libs are PPC native.
I believe the next release will have native intuition too. If you don't like
it DON'T use it and stop bitching. Just be sure that being open is always a
good thing...
I just don't get it... Why should ALWAYS the users of one solution bitch all over
of the users of the other one? Couldn't we all be together?
Mediator vs G-Rex, WarpOS vs PowerUP, AmigaOS 4 vs MorphOS...
The future is cooperation... If we continue like that we are leading Amiga
right onto it's grave. One word: C-O-O-P-E-R-A-T-I-O-N

Damn, we should have guessed that one day, someone would find
out about the mass brain-washing operation going on on #morphos.

One more time: a product that *does not exist* can not make anything
obsolete. Come back when you have bought a copy of AmigaOS-PPC.

MorphOS is the best AmigaOS at the moment, butt dos not yet proved a full workbench system or AmigaDos command level. Okay if you most stick to the OLD shit PowerUP do so. But software firms ban PowerUP, as it used a lot of CPU processor time on CPU swapping. Amiga Inc makes war with MorphOS as they crate a new AmigaOS4.0, MorphOS is not making the war with AmigaOS4.0, as MorphOS wear released when Amiga Inc where planing AmigaOS 3.5, Don’t forget MorphOS support AmigaOS3.5 and AmigaOS3.9.
If Amiga Inc where smart they by the MorphOS, and continue from there.
I have Linux and linux is not a user-friendly system nor is beta QNX, and sloaris, FreeBSD,
You can’t compare OS’s they are just like people some you like some you don’t, and person like the same systems.

OBS: and person like the same systems
and people don't like the same systems.
I have had lots of arguments and this I know.

We live in a free market economy. It thrives through competition, why are you so afraid of MorphOS? Maybe you're frightened it'll beat AmigaDE, or maybe because you fear that Amiga Inc won't ever release anything...

Choice is good. Competition is good. Depriving people of choice is bad. Let the people decide!
