Apogee "Live Shot" Camera Online

Today, we got the Live Shot camera online and working! What's that? Well, we have a camera hooked up at our Headquarters pointed at something. You never know what it might be pointed at. It might be pointed down a hallway at a door, it might be pointed down into Tech Support, it might be on someone's monitor while they play Duke Nukem 3D, it might be on a Prey development monitor.... It might even be pointed at the coffee pot or the donut box in the break room. MMMMmmmm. Donuts. :)

Anyway, it's online now, and ready for you! To get there go to the Behind The Scenes page. Come see what we're doing, and let us know what you think of this feature! (NOTE May 2005: this feature is no longer a part of our site)

New Screenshots & Pages added to Web Site

Today, we added a few new pages to the Web Site, and lots of new screen shots!

For Apogee, we have new screen shots for Xenophage and we've put on a couple of screenshots for Stargunner. If you'd like to see them, click here.

For 3D Realms, we've added totally new pages for Blood and Prey. Also, the 3D Realms Future Projects Page is now gone. It's been merged into the 3D Realms Catalog page. In addition, all of the unreleased games on the 3D Realms Future Projects page have all new screen shots! Make sure to check 'em out!

Let us know what you think of these games in the message bases! Thanks.

Ruins: Return of the Gods Cancelled

Ruins, a 3D game being developed by Lobotomy Software that was originally scheduled as a 3D Realms Entertainment release, will no longer be published by 3D Realms.

Lobotomy and 3D Realms mutually agreed to separate from each other and allow Ruins, now renamed as PowerSlave, to be released by another publisher.

Apogee / 3D Realms Web BBS goes Online!

Today, the Apogee & 3D Realms Web Pages have undergone a major rebirth. As you've already seen, we're now using the Software Creations Web BBS Software. This new software gives us a tremendous base of power from which to grow this site. Take a look around. Let us know what you think about this new look for our web site, and make sure to tell all your friends!

Two of the new features here that weren't available on our old Web Site and the best two are:

1. File areas with sorting and searching
2. Message Bases
