Shut down?  HA, what took so long?

Their website was nothing but hype about their old games. Anyone who stuck 
around until the end shouldn't have been surprised they were eventually let 
go.

I still remember promises of a new Duke sometime back in 1996 and from that 
point forward the excuses were one after another. The only chance of 
3drealms and Apogee surviving was if DOS was resurrected again and the 
preferred operating system.


Good by and good riddance.
