Here's a game that's truly infectious
Article Abstract:
Computer viruses are a fascinating area to explore, according to Ran Bronstein, development manager in the games division of Israeli multimedia concern SEA. He worked with Rona Segev, formerly a developer at Kidum Multimedia and now vice president of SEA's games division, to develop the computer game 'Virus.' This was inspired by a Tom and Jerry cartoon which appeared as a screensaver on Segev's computer. The player pursues computer viruses through a 3D graphical representation of a computer system. The most successful players are those with an almost photographic memory.

Brian Eno's generation game
Article Abstract:
SSEYO's Koan software enabled Brian Eno to produce the concept album 'Generative Music 1', which can be played on IBM-compatible computers which have high-end soundcards. The software is becoming an increasingly common means of embedding small music files, which are quick to download from Worldwide Web pages. Koan files consume only 1-25 kbytes of disk space, but can play music for over eight hours. The disadvantage of the software is that high-end soundcards are only available on high specification machines or owned by people passionate about computer games.

A battle for the sonic boom

RealNetworks will develop a plug-in for IBM's technology to work with its existing products. Microsoft has revealed MS Audio 4, which offers better sound and file sizes than the Motion Picture Experts Group-1 audio layer three format.
