Alien Carnage released as freeware
So they did it with Major Stryker, Bio Menace, Xenophage, and Stargunner. Now the good folks over at 3D Realms have decided to release Alien Carnage as freeware.
Originally titled Halloween Harry, the aim is to guide the hero through sewers, factories, and office blocks killing zombies with a variety of weapons and rescue hostages before they turn into one of them. Alien Carnage featured digitized music, crisp VGA graphics, and excellent cut-scenes.
Because of 3D Realms’ policy of releasing their old titles as freeware every year, we might be seeing Mystic Towers, Hocus Pocus, Realms of Chaos, Death Rally, and much of their other older titles.

Hospital Using Nintendo Wii to Help Stroke Victims
Dr. Janet Coyle received a Wii for Christmas and realized that it could be useful in treating stroke victims. The idea proved to be so effective that people like Walter Rowry were up and around a week after having a stroke. Mr. Rowry was happy to use the Wii unit to bowl and regain the use of his left arm.

StarCraft II officially announced
Today Blizzard announced their new and much awaited new project: StarCraft II.
Among the features highlighted, Blizzard mentions new units for the same three races from the previous game, new gameplay mechanics and a new 3D engine.
By the screenshots on the website, I wouldn’t say the graphics are much better than those seen in Warcraft III. To be honest, they just look a polished version of the first game for me.
Would it be that Blizzard is aiming on gameplay rather than graphic gimmicks?

8088 Corruption Explained
A few year back our very own Jim Leonard created a program called 8088 Corruption which would display full motion video on an 8088. Recently, he did a talk at NOTACON/Block Party where he went into detail about the project. A video of his talk has been posted at archive.org. While not specifically game related, it’s certainly interesting. I think a lot of our classic gaming readers and former demo scene folks will enjoy it.
