`05.Sep.2001` Stiftung Warentest	Stiftung Warentest: Internet-searchengines: Google hits best »Currently Google is the best searchengine in the Net. Google found ten times the suitable answer to ten questions. It follows Altavista, Lycos and Metager with nine hits. STIFTUNG WARENTEST tested 20 searchengines and catalogs. 13 are only sufficient and one is inadequate. The weak point of most of the searchengines: The results are falsely weighted.

`29.Aug.2001` Hugi Online (PC Demo-Szene Magazin) (ANF)	Max Payne developer are (active!) Amiga-freaks Silvio Senger writes: Maybe the following message does not really fit to the news but I think that it is interesting for most of the Amiga-fans: For some weeks there is a new action hero in the PC-world called MAX PAYNE. It lasts nearly five years to develop the game and it certainly is one of the hits of this year, at least in the PC-fan-community. It is known that some Amiga-Fans developed this game. On the this year's ASSEMBLY in Finland (with nearly 5000 visitors one of the biggest demo/LAN-parties; www.assembly.org) where the best freaks also compete in a "demo-competition" PC- and Amiga-demos have been shown together in one competition. It was amazing to see that a team which made its demo on a Amiga was the winner. (as amiga-news.de reported). And that is remarkable: The members of the group ´MatureFurk´ behind this demo all work at Mad Onion (known by its benchmark program 3DMark2001). The graphic artist mainly participates on Max Payne. And there is another curious thing: Exactly the same group won on the last ASSEMBLY the PC-demo competition. The demo has the same name as the AMIGA winner demo on the ASSEMBLY 2001. The following links are interesting: Detailed interview with the graphic artist of the DEMO, which participates on Max Payne Download of AMIGA DEMOS (requires 68060 + AGA + 16 MB memory!)
