Sequel to Dugeon Keeper?
GameAddict had this to say about the proposed sequel to Dungeon Keeper:
Bullfrog has confirmed that it's working on a sequel to Dungeon Keeper.
Old hand Sean Cooper, fresh from his unhappy time with Virgin, is
heading the project team which is aiming for a simultaneous PC and
PlayStation release late next year. Peter Molyneux, who created the
original game, has no involvement since he left Bullfrog to set up his
own development house LionHead. Bullfrog promises advanced online gaming
capabilities and what it describes as more modern graphics.

New Version of Mac QBSP/Light/VIS

New AirQuake!
DiJiT's favorite Quake TC(other then any of our own) is AirQuake, which has just been updated to version 25 and adds:
"This update adds a new defense turret, new models for Dogfighter and
AMRAAM, and a lot of little code fixes that should make it work more
reliably than test 24. Also the Air2 now has more to do in single
player, although it still lacks an exit..."
You can download AirQuake at the AirQuake TC Homepage
MacQuake Updaters
MacSoft's released MacQuake updaters for all the cards and standard(software) Quake that fix a few problems. Modem play still doesn't work, but is reportedly being worked on. You can download any of them at MacSoft's webpage.

Lack of News
There is a real lack of news right now, which is probably attributed to companies rushing to get games out before Christmas, not having time respond to the public(which is understandable). Until we get a little closer to Christmas, updates may slow down(keyword: MAY) and we'll have to print even the smallest news.
News Moved to Archives
News from Oct. 8th(our opening day!) to Nov. 2nd have been moved to the new News Archives.

Rumored Myth demo release?
We're really starved for news today. Myth Unlimited received a e-mail from Tunceir Deinz of Bungie Software that they're shooting for a monday release, being tomorrow. They however, make no commitment to that release date.
Monkey Updates
Not a whole lot of gaming news, so I thought you should know that November 1 through the 9th is International Orangutan Awareness Week. You can find out all about this event and a lot more about these great apes at Orangutan Foundation International. Appreciate your monkeys...[Arctic Ape]
Myth Demo Delayed
The Myth Demo has been delayed. It was slated for a release today or tomorrow, but Bungie has said it will be released in a few weeks. They wanted to work as hard as possible on getting the game shipping on time(Nov. 15).[Myth Unlimited]
