Press Release Summary = After three long years, and countless all-nighters, we are
proud to announce that the official release of Excalibur: Morgana\'s Revenge (EMR)
v3.0 is now available for download. EMR 3.0 is a unique scenario that uses the
Aleph One game engine, providing huge improvements over all past versions.

Press Release Body = EMR 3.0 is a first-person action adventure game, featuring an
epic and in-depth story line. As a Federation Marine resting after your last
mission, you start aboard the exploration class Starship Kronos where you learn that
your real mission has yet to begin. You are re-acquainted with the A.I. Merlin, who
introduces you to Kronos time traveling technology, and reveals your new mission: to
save mankind from the clutches of Morgana and her minions. Through untamed
raptor-infested jungles, castle arenas, and war-torn streets of the future, you will
wield weapons from all time periods - including the Sword of Power, Excalibur - in
an effort to thwart the diabolical plot that unfolds. The EMR adventure, spread
across 42 solo levels, weaves a tale of truth and honor, knighthood and bravery, and
darkness and treachery. EMR also delivers 27 adrenaline pumped network levels. EMR
immerses you in an amazing new world, creating an addictive, fun and unique gaming
experience.

For those that played EMR under the old Marathon Infinity engine, EMR 3.0 brings
exciting new maps, new high resolution textures and landscapes, a completely new set
of weapons, new monsters and friends, new scenery, new 16-bit sounds, original
music, and a carefully woven original and updated story line that transcends time.
Using the Aleph One engine, EMR now sports hundreds of new special features using
Aleph One\'s MML and Lua scripting languages.

Here\'s just a sample of the new and exciting features available in EMR 3.0:
- Levels with fog and mist
- Persistent effects such as poison, earthquakes, fire storm spell, and timed grenades
- Original MP3 music
- 12 unique weapons, including a new Dragon Flamer and T9000 Railgun
- New spells for your wand, including fire storm, teleportation, and raise the dead
- Beautifully rendered OpenGL textures and landscapes
- New Morgana and Trex hi-res sprites
- A huge variety of new hi-res scenery items
- New holodeck programs, including driving a Flintstone mobile through Bedrock!
- Blood Gulch style net map with 8 simulated net players and a huge battlefield

- New powerups, such as apples, bananas, health kits, emergency kits, and finally a
use for all those magic scrolls!

NOTE: The Aleph One engine is old technology improved. Architecture is still
simulated 3D, so there are no ramps, bridges, and balconies, nor horizontal doors.
The sprites in EMR are made up of 2D images posed in different views, not 3D models.
Although you will not find the latest state-of-the-art graphics engine, you will
find an intriguing storyline, creative map architectures, engaging graphics,
original spellbinding music, and mood-setting effects. We have taken the engine to
its limits!

EMR is created by the Marathon Map Makers Guild and published by ExcaliburWorld
Software. It is available now for Mac OS X PPC and Mac OS X Intel. Versions for
Windows and Linux should be available within a week or two.
