Genesi: CeBIT-Report 2003

By Ron van Herk & Martin Heine

CeBIT is over, 8 days of hard work are done! Genesi's first CeBIT was very successful. We had a lot of interesting talks, many many interested visitors and made some very prosperous deals.

Larian Studios and e.p.i.e. interactive announced on March 19, 2003 that they have signed a contract to bring the role-playing sensation Divine Divinity to MorphOS and the Apple Mac.

Divine Divinity has won award after award from the mainstream press, and is a real coupe for the guys over at e.p.i.c. interactive This title should be a great addition to the MorphOS software library.
