SW: EmperoarTV enhancements

31 Dec 2004 08:48:11
From: "Ruediger Ihle"
Hi folks,
I have put two minor enhancements to EmperoarTV on our download area:
1.) Updated screen saver interface for interoperability with Doodle's
recently released screen saver.
http://www.s-t.de/download/dshook.zip
2.) Chinese (Taiwan) language support module by Alex Lee. Note,
that you need to run a Chinese version of OS/2 (and probably
speak Chinese ;-) in order to use this module.
http://www.s-t.de/download/emperoartv108k_chinese_nls.zip
Happy new year to everyone !
About EmperoarTV:
-----------------------------
EmperoarTV brings support for the Hauppauge PVR250/350 TV cards to the
OS/2 platform, including high quality MPEG2 hard disk recording and

SW: New eCS-OS/2 game "DeathMorozes & Tree of Apocalipse"

30 Dec 2004 20:50:57
From: Eugene Gorbunoff, eg (at) ecomstation.com
Subj: SW: Santa Clauses no pasaran!
New year is near. How to stop the New Year holiday?! Eat all tangerines in
advance and leave the New Year's Tree without decorations! New game
"DeathMorozes & Tree of Apocalipse" allows you interrupt the channel of
decorations delivery. Every Santa Clause is carrying one toy for the Tree.
Shoot them all!
You have five weapons:
* pistol -- tickling for santa's heels,
* machine-gun -- quick spending of ammunition,
* flare pistol -- effective weapon,
* mines and
* super mines -- no pasaran! (activation requires some seconds)
Homepage of the game: http://ecomstation.ru/ecobaby
Product of eCo Software. The game is developed by 13th SUNRISE team
(former sNOa gamepack).
P.S. This game is for small children only [Moderator note: Not sure how
small as the goal seems to be to shoot as many moving Santa Clauses as
possible with your mouse :-) ] which should stay in good mood during the
holidays.
