Sounds like Bill Clinton's working for Acclaim Entertainment with all of the continuous lying and the phantom release dates, I think that the people at Acclaim are completely CLUELESS and are probably smoking too much pot or snorting too much coke to know that they have a job to do and their NOT DOING IT!!.

Don't they realize that by continuously changing the release date their just REALLY REALLY PISSING ME OFF (GET READY TO HAVE THAT AUSTRALIAN JAM HIS THUMB UP MY BUTT!!)

All I have to say in closing is, Dude this is totally fucked up here

* Hey if you didn't get that thumb up the butt reference they you haven't been watching South Park lately (You Bastards!).

According to Zubanski, it was Tue, 26 Jan 1999 02:48:00 -0500 when "Rick Schwarz" approached him in the old spaghetti factory. Zubanski then makes the dubious claim of being handed a letter containing the following text:

You don't buy many PC games, do you? About 90% of all games slated for the PC miss their original ship date and get pushed back further and further. StarCraft was originally set to debut beginning of 97. It didn't get to shelves until April '98.

I'd rather have a later releasedate and less bugs than having a really buginfested version tomorrow. Making computergames isn't like making brownies and games rarely gets released on the dates first stated.

IMO it's foolish of Acclaim to mention dates in the first place, they should know pretty well how impossible it's to keep promises like that.

I think it's to "force" people (who have no patience, or brain of their own) into buying a Nintendo 64 version of the game to "hold them over" until the PC one comes out. I just have to say I don't own a N64, and IMHO it's a waste of money. I'll just wait till the PC version comes out in March (?). There are plenty of things in life to keep me busy till then.
