King,'' in distribution,and just introduced at the recent E3 show in Atlanta its newest product, ''Big Brother,'' a leading-edge real-time 3-D game based on George Orwell's ''1984'' and currently in the final stages of development for release during fall of 1998. MediaX has also developed a proprietary physics engine for real-time 3-D development, which allows the company to develop leading-edge real-time 3-D titles in a very flexible and extremely time- and cost-efficient manner.
