Come See Cool Games from Aspyr at our March 20 Meeting

Thursday, March 20, 2003
7:30 PM to 9:30 PM

Aspyr is an Austin based company founded in 1996 by loyal Apple fans who decided to do something about the dearth of quality games for the Macintosh.

	Their first big title was Tomb Raider II, released in 1998. Tomb Raider Gold, Tomb Raider III and Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation have since followed.
Aspyr continues to tirelessly pursue the best games, resurrecting sports games for the Mac with the release of Madden NFL 2000. Other stellar titles include the Star Wars series, including Galactic Battlegrounds, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, the Sims series, including Livin' Large, House Party, Vacation, and Unleashed, as well as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, NASCAR Racing 2002 Season and the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series, and many more.
Coming very soon are Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003, and Medal of Honor Allied Assault Spearhead. Aspyr has also just announced they are bringing Sim City 4 to the Mac, with an estimated release date of May, 2003.
		Aspyr has also promised that March will be a month of big announcements, so watch their web site and subscribe to their email newsletter to keep informed of the hot news that's sure to excite everyone who enjoys games on the Mac. Join us at our March 20 meeting for a special demonstration of the magic Aspyr brings to the Macintosh, and share our pride in this Austin company which has grown to become a leader in the world of computer gaming.

Plus, questions and answers, raffle, the nicest Mac friends you could ever hope to meet, and more!

Members and non-members alike are welcome to attend. Don't miss it!
