14th Oct 1999 - glitter releases Quake2 lightgun mod 'gl.tter's Q2GUNFRENZY!' v1.0
__________________________________________________________________________________
 

gl.tter's Q2GUNFRENZY!, released today in version 1.0  under the >RIL_ banner,
(http://r-i-l.net) is the first ever lightgun enabled First-Person-Shooter
game.  Written specifically for the ACT LABS GS (http://www.act-labs.com)
PC lightgun system, it features a finely tuned and highly stylised Quake2
single-player 'Arcade Mode', as well as standard Quake2 gameplay with GS
lightgun support and 'Stress Relief' mode. 

The mod borrows numerous features from glitter's gl.tter's Q2Deathtrap!, a
Quake2 mod that, whilst never publically announced, built a devoted
underground following during the year it was developed and available to play
on-line. 

Although the GS system is required to play, anyone can download and view the
included demos to see first-hand how lightguns can be used to revolutionise
First-Person-Shooter games.

Full details (including screenshots, glitter's notes about the mod's origin
etc.) are now on-line at the GUNFRENZY! web site at:

(other graphics are available on request).

A second lightgun mod for Half-Life is currently in beta (this can also
be found at the - glitterstream - site) - although this one currently
features mostly unmodified Half-Life gameplay, it does offer multi-player
lightgun capability, including the ability to run dedicated on-line
lightgun servers (GunFrenzy is single-player only due to Quake2
architecture restrictions). However, please do not publicise this yet,
as more work is expected on it fairly soon to bring it up to version 1.0.
