RELEASE iNFORMATiON

Notes:
Liath is set in the city of Azeretu, where, for some strange reason, the
flow of time is incorrect. Criss, Ithena, and Tiche are long time friends.
When Tiche moves to Azeretus, Criss and Ithena do not hear from her for a
long time. Tiche is unaware of this fact because of the distortion of time
in Azeretus. Eventually, Criss and Ithena decided to go to Azeretus        :
themselves, not knowing that return from Azeretus is impossible. So, the   :
story begins with Criss and Ithena in their search for Tiche in the magical
city of Azeretus. During their quest, the quest becomes clear that this is
not just a simple search to find Tiche, but it involves the fate of the    :
magical city itself as well as the fate of the entire world...

Liath is an arcade adventure, this time set in a fairy-tale world. The
side-on perspective used in this game (Kings Quest / Indiana Jones / Broken
Sword) is combined with a moving camera-effect. Therefore, when the player
moves off the screen to the left or right, the transition to the next
screen is realistically depicted by a swooping (not scrolling!) camera, in
order to create a fully believable game-world. Depicted in 800x600
resolution and an enormous amount of detail on screen, Liath has to be seen
to be believed.

The gameplay does not stand in the shadow of graphical trickery, and the
. complexity and originality of the puzzles is perfectly tuned, with puzzles
becoming more difficult as the player progresses, but with puzzles also
: remainning logical at all times.                                           .

* Prerendered backgrounds and characters animation                         .

* Animated characters can move in 3D space of scenes in all directions     :
with perspective correct scaling.

* Shading of character depend on light sources in scene.

* Windows 95 directX application.

RIPPED: Almost 2 cd's of movies, some speech and music.  If you miss
the music that much or can't read subtitles come beg us and
we might do addons :)

** Be sure to get our release of SimCity 3000 released yesterday. **

JTS News Flash: Just The Slags!
Read on to see why Skill is lame and is the LAMER behind Just The Facts
charts.

JTS News:
Yes my friends, it is SLAGGING time! This release slag meat is SKILL,
dictator leader of CLASS, and the person who publishes Just The Facts.
SKILL, not content with his crew CLASS ruling the horsy game releasing
scene, has decided to use his ideas in Just The Facts as a propaganda
machine for promoting his group. This would not be so bad. Except he does
not put his name on the charts and claims that they are independent and
objective. So, how do we know he does the charts? Well even his own group
members say so! The code is even coded by, a CLASS member, ATM for SKILL,
as he cannot code himself (LAMER). SKILL is the lamer behind Just The
Facts.

Now let us examine the propaganda he uses to make his group number #1
month after month in Just The Facts. Last month in December, ORIGIN
released the most awaited major games and many other releases. Yet, we
finished second by some way! We are very surprised by this. So, we decided
to look at how these charts are calculated to see if it all added up.
First of all, we are surprised to see the scores given for the games we
released.

For example, Football Masters 99 got 4.5 points where as Player Manager
98-99, a similar game, got only 4.0 points. Maybe because Football Masters
99 is a superior game? No, actually it is inferior. A better score would
be Football Masters 99 4.0 points and Player Manager 98-99 5.0 points, but
then what would SKILL know about games from LIMEY land. It is so long
since he had any! We also thought the score for Magic and Mayhem is a bit
stingy as well. It deserves at least 8.0 points. Starsiege: Tribes is, of
course, a major and should have got 7.5 points at least, if not more! The
inaccuracies within SKILL's bullshit confounded us more when he managed to
forget all about our Thief trainer that we did. This shows the lack of
care for other groups work. Also, the biggest thing that we laughed at is
his minus points for the Gangsters Trainer fix. Well, this makes us laugh
as many trainers get released these days that do not work correctly, if at
all, and, at least, we bothered to re-release it. But, that is not why we
laughed. We laughed because it BREAKS his own rules. As it clearly states,
points will be deducted for GAME releases, not trainers. In other words,
he cannot keep to his own bullshit. No changes there from SKILL gimp. But,
the biggest surprise is our Pinky and The Brain release. We had called the
company that made this game and they said themselves that it is Adultware.
So, this is obviously a piss-poor attempt at fixing the points so CLASS
can win, as it is the only way they could that month. His fixing even by
his own fucked up rules lost ORIGIN at least 9 points. if not more, that
month. Which would have made ORIGIN the top group for that month, by his
own fucked up rules, of course.

Now let us examine the same treatment he applies to his group CLASS.
Biggest surprise is the score for War of the Worlds. It received 8.5
points. Apparently, according to SKILL, this is same as our Thief, which
is voted Innovative Game of the Year 1998 by the TRG readership (Review
scores which he also publishes). Well, we have to say that this game is
is nowhere near as good as Thief; it is not even in the same ballpark. We
would give it the same score as our Rival Realms, a similar game, which
received 7.0 points and that is being fucking generous. Next is Snowmobile
Racing, a game with only 4 levels; thus, we give it one point for each
level, unlike his whopping 5 points. The next joke is Top Gun: Hornet's
Nest also from CLASS with 8 points. Well, this game is not regarded as a
major flight sim by anyone except SKILL. Where as our Ultra Fighters
received 7 points; we shall give it the same. When ORIGIN has released
hunting games, SKILL has given them only 3 points, but when CLASS released
Trophy Buck, guess what? Yes, it received 5.5 points. Well, now that we
know hunting games are getting full points. We decided to release one this
month, and we expect full points like Trophy Buck received for our Natural
Fawn Killers release. Not to mention Carnivores, also a hunting game, from
CLASS received 6 MASSIVE points. Then, we come to Luftwaffe Commander,
another flight sim, getting 8 points. We shall have to reduce that to the
usual 7 points.

But, the biggest lame fuck up from REDNECK SKILL is giving CLASS points
for their RECOIL trainer and then stating PARADIGM's release is BETA.
Surely this trainer cannot count as it is for the BETA version. As we can
see, it does. Why is this a fuck up? Well, if fixes for trainers get minus
points then a re-release for the RECOIL trainer will have to occur for the
FINAL version, thus CLASS have lost points for this lame attitude by SKILL
GIMP. As they say what goes around comes around. But, ORIGIN will not be
as mean as we believe mistakes happen, so in our view it is not points
gained and no points lost! Thus, CLASS would have had 5 less points as a
result.

The scores originally presented by SKILLESS came to:
CLASS         +70.5
ORIGIN        +65.5
PARADIGM      +53.5

With adjusted sensible scores and 20 points deducted for CLASS because of
SKILL's CHEATING lameness at trying to make CLASS #1 every month because
he is the leader, the score now comes to a sensible, realistic score:
ORIGIN         +74.5
PARADIGM       +53.5
CLASS          +45.5

Also, I am sure if PARADIGM and RAZOR checked their releases over the
month/year, they would find SKILL LAMER has fucked them on a regular
basis. Now some may say this is sour grapes by ORIGIN, well, it is not. It
seems we are not the only ones who think his charts are REDNECK crap
because even his own friends in CLASS do not rate his poor excuse for
charts. PROZAC has stated he wants to start his own charts. At least, he
has the guts to put his name on them!

There will be the usual crap in Just The Facts next month about how SKILL
lamer is not the guy and rubbish like "oh no mon ami it is not poor
Mr. Skill" and so on. But, it is a known fact in the scene that he
publishes that piece of trash, Just The Facts.

Just The Facts = SKILL = LAME REDNECK FUCK.

Just The Facts? More like, Just The F00L!

Here's the game that you all COULDN'T RIP, and it's not raped either!
Shut up, get skills, go to school or something, then come back and talk
