*3D Realms buys physics for Duke Nukem Forever*
27th of September, 2004

Meqon is glad to announce that 3DRealms have decided to buy our Meqon Game
Dynamics SDK for their upcoming title Duke Nukem Forever.

Meqon's product strategy has always been to create the most easy to use
and flexible physics engine on the market, but without compromising the
computational speed. George Broussard, CEO of 3DRealms comments - "We
evaluated several physics SDK's and Meqon was really fast, had the
cleanest interface and integrated into our game very quickly."

The Meqon Game Dynamics SDK does not only handle basic rigid body
simulation but also contain highly advanced character and vehicle modules.
Mr Broussard comments - "With its advanced feature set, we feel confident
that Meqon's next generation physics engine can help us create the next
generation of action games."
