Auto Assault & City of Villains Revealed

NCsoft sends along the roster of games they will be showing off at next month's E3, which offers first details on Auto Assault, NetDevil's Mad Max-style MMORPG, and reveals an evil City of Villains expansion for City of Heroes:
Auto Assault —Combine fast-paced vehicular combat with high-tech, futuristic weaponry and hundreds of intense skills and you get Auto Assault – a unique departure from traditional Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs). Hop in your own customized cars, semis, and motorcycles and prepare to fight the mutated creatures and bandits of Auto Assault's post-apocalyptic world. Battle other players both in arenas and in epic race vs. race wars for control of the regions in a devastated Earth. Auto Assault uses the power of the Havok™ physics engine to let you make insane jumps, send obstacles flying and even blast bridges, buildings, fences and trees with your car-mounted rockets. Anything you can hit, you can destroy!

City of Villains—Want to play the bad guy in Paragon City? You’ll get your chance in Cryptic Studios’ City of Villains, currently under development and to be shown in limited play at E3. While City of Heroes (www.cityofheroes.com) is ready for an April 28 launch, Cryptic developers already are working on the first major expansion to the game that will allow players to take on the role of villain in Paragon’s modern metropolis. Turn the tide on all the heroes and heroines and lead your crime syndicate into battle in the impressive 3D backdrop of Paragon City.

Anyone who's been familiar with SJG for a few decades can tell you about teir mac related hang ups.

It was so bad that at one point, back in the eighties, if you wanted to submit anything in electronic format it had to be in a mac format.

Autoduel was definitely released in non-mac formats (I know, at once point or another I've had them all).

There was a quote a few years ago from someone at SJG saying that they would really like to do something to bring the Car Wars license into the digital age after autoduel but they couldn't find anyone to handle it to their satisfaction. Mostly being that they couldn't get anyone to at least develop it for the mac simultaneously. I got the impression from the guy was sort of pissed that they wanted to do a pc version at all.

It used to be out there somewhere on the SJG pages several years ago. if I cared more I might look it up.

If i'm not mistaken, they once tried to keep all the PCs off the old illuminati BBS. I think it mostly just consisted of a questionaire you had to fill out before they would give you a password. Any other old-timers remember this?

I know I could get on to upload my Omega stuff but I was using an Amiga up until the early 90's so I may not be remembering it correctly.
