 The Codex of Ultimate Wisdom caught AvatarX writing:
: From an excerpt of the Avatar's Logbook, . (fw...@cs.sunysb.edu) said:
: : I was watching some show called 'The computer man' and they had an origin 
: : story, and Origin said they shipped their very last Floppy Disk game!  All
: : their games are going to be Cd-only forever!  Bwa ha ha haaaaaaaa.
: : This was on ABC, Sunday afternoon from 12 noon - 1 pm. just for the record.
: And on the backcover of November CGW, Origin has an ad that says
: 'Origin now creates worlds on CD'  .The whole ad just gives you their
: reasons for releasing games on CDs.  So, they're going to do it.

good, good... 'tis about time, even if the games are not enhanced, 
distributing them on CD is a lot better than floppies :)

    *** DEATH TO FLOPPY-BASED GAMES !!! *** :-}
