A few days ago a former affiliate of Cinemaware told my user group that Cinemaware had filed fro chapter 11 and was going to be swallowed up by some other company, and will make Amiga Games no more....... Anybody else heard about this? Charweed Hymerfan

I've heard rumors for 3 weeks on our local bbs about this. I didn't want to post it since it was just a rumor (though it was through a friend of someone who worked at Cinemaware). But, I just heard that now they're selling the furniture (remember Aegis). It looks like cinemaware has bit the dust. The thing is, I don't understand how it could have happened. I have heard their IBM ports of TVSports Basketball were selling like crazy and that they had gotten major capital infusion by NEC who bought a huge chunk of stock, so they would make games for the TurobGrafx..... Oh well, only time will tell, but let's keep our fingers crossed. Cinemaware was on the cutting edge of Amiga software, and I have never been unhappy w/ any of their games I purchased (though I heard some of their Spotlight was mediocre). Later, Jason

SpeedBall is on CinemaWare's Spotlight label. Is the release of SB 2 delayed or jeopardized in the U.S. because of C'Ware's bellyflop?
