The Schooner Brewery Announces Name Change to Gamecom, Inc.
Business Editors
ARLINGTON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 8, 1999--The board of
directors of The Schooner Brewery Incorporated of Arlington, Texas, is
pleased to announce that it has changed the corporation's name to
GameCom, Inc. Further, the corporation's former symbol "SCOB" (OTC
BB:SCOB) has been changed to "GAMZ" (OTC BB:GAMZ), effective
March 4, 1999.
"The primary reason for this name change is to reflect the
company's focus on the development of its 'Net GameLink(tm)
interactive Internet gaming entertainment system," said L. Kelly
Jones, president of GameCom. "We have closed our brewery subsidiary to
channel all the company's resources toward the successful
implementation of 'Net GameLink(tm)," Jones added.
GameCom intends to become the first company to physically take
interactive Internet gaming successfully into the public arena. The
company has developed pay-per-play gaming kiosks that will allow the
public to swipe their credit cards or to defer billing to an existing
account via membership subscriptions.
GameCom's 'Net GameLink(tm) kiosks will boast astounding hardware
specifications and features, such as AMD K6 3D Now Micro-processors,
19" to 21" SVGA monitors, 16MB AGP video cards, and 100-watt
sub-woofers with duel 50-watt stereo speakers. Where available, all
units publicly placed will be tied to T-1 lines supplied by GTE
Internetworking. GameCom has successfully developed its first
prototypes, the first public system is under construction, and the
company is in negotiations with potential manufacturers and
distributors in order to achieve the best price point per unit while,
at the same time, maintaining quality assurance and integrity within a
robust operating systems environment.
The 'Net GameLink(tm) systems will be capable of playing such
well known titles as Nascar On-Line Racing, Command and Conquer, and
Quake, among others. Each player will have the option to compete
against the computer's artificial intelligence, other players within
the immediate 'Net GameLink(tm) location, or a worthy opponent
anywhere on the Internet. Additionally, players will have the
capability to speak with others in real-time while on-line during
their playing sessions.
GameCom believes that the integration of these cutting-edge
technologies will solidify its intended position as the premier
physical site for Internet gaming on the World Wide Web. GameCom's
goal to become the premier gaming arena is enhanced through its
previously-established relationships with game enabler Total
Entertainment Network (www.ten.net), Advanced Micro Devices
(NYSE:AMD), and GTE (NYSE:GTE).
GameCom has already arranged for the placement of dozens of 'Net
GameLink(tm) gaming kiosks in and around the greater metropolitan New
York area, the first of which is expected to be operational in
mid-April. Currently, the company is also in negotiations for the
placement of additional 'Net GameLink(tm) systems in Boston,
Philadelphia, Dallas, and Los Angeles.
