Nick,
I was about to say you were crazy to buy this dog. Just goes to show
that timing is everything. Good trade.
Now, finally some news:
The Meaning of Life Discovered on CD-ROM
7th Level Announces Third Release in Python Series; Game Expected to
Bring Comfort and Wisdom to Millions
DALLAS, June 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Since the dawn of time, when mankind's earliest ancestors
crawled forth from the primordial ooze, towelled off, ate lunch, then set about evolving in earnest,
one question has transfixed us more than any other: What is the Meaning of Life? 7th Level, Inc.
(Nasdaq:SEVL) and Monty Python have teamed up once again to bring you the answer to this
question and more in their new CD-ROM game, Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.
This is the third release in 7th Level's popular Python series of CD-ROM games, after Monty
Python's Complete Waste of Time and Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail. It's a
super tasty CD-ROM game that will provide you with unparalleled peace and contentment. We
guarantee it!
Here's how it works: If, once you've finished your life, you find that it still has no meaning, simply
lodge a complaint, and we shall happily refund your money.
Perhaps you aren't interested in self-improvement. Fine. Keep reading anyway because you never
know when the urge will strike. Consider these vital facts: in this new comedy-strategy adventure
game, players will enter the world of Python in a way not seen in the first two games -- that is,
through the Python-patented Surround-o-Vision(PM). Players will navigate in complete,
360-degree environments, featuring the greatest scenes from the film as well as lots and lots of
newly created artwork.
And for your listening pleasure, we've included a bounty of brand-new dialogue recorded by
actual Monty Python members John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael
Palin. That's all of the Pythons! Well, all except for Graham Chapman who is, unfortunately, not
talking.
``We will bake this game to a perfect golden brown,'' said Terry Gilliam, Monty Python troupe
member and the game's executive producer. ``It will taste like no other Python CD-ROM.''
Bob Ezrin, 7th Level's CEO and its highest-ranking Bob, agreed. He said this game will appeal to
Python fans and strategy gamers alike. ``This game will appeal to Python fans and strategy gamers
alike.''
From Birth to Death, players will navigate through scenes from the original film, interacting with the
original characters, solving puzzles, watching clips, and playing such thoroughly important games as
You Don't Know John, Live Organ Transplants, Mealtime With Mr. Creosote and the Hendys
Conversation Game.
And that's not all. You see, the Python members did not simply supply film, voices, artwork and
executive producing efforts for this game. They actually went out and personally researched Life
itself. And what they discovered -- the Spiritual, Material and, yes, Dental components of life --
will take players on a fascinating, highly challenging, and always hilarious quest through the
theoretical and practical foundations of existence itself!
Unbelievable, you're thinking? Amazing? Irresponsible? You are right. But there's still more! The
Meaning of Life is, after all, enormous, and so is this game (so, for that matter, is this press
release). For the third and final part of our game, we get personal. While the player is searching
wildly for clues and signs, he or she is being confronted with moral dilemmas which require
Solomonic wisdom to solve and the answers to which have a profound effect on the outcome of
the game. Crafty, no? Yes! And players are advised to keep hankies handy for the grand climax --
that poignant moment where their innermost secrets are revealed and explained to them! What
other game can offer fun, challenge and revelation in the same package?
That's all we shall tell you for now. Just buy the game and remember this: Monty Python's The
Meaning of Life for Windows(R)95 is coming for the 1997 holiday season -- just in time for Santa
Claus (do you believe in Santa Claus? ... Ah, but that's for another game). What will be the price,
you ask? Well, how does one put a price on the Meaning of Life? We shall reflect upon this
question and enlighten you when the time has come.
