Realsports Tennis

Nuevos betas obtenidos de tapes?

No se notan grandes diferencias, pero es un gran aporte para la escena.

Lo mejor son memos de la epoca y que declaran borrar el easter egg del Tennis.

 TO:  Jim Romanos
     FROM:  Ken Balthaser
     SUBJECT:  Weekly Update                              DATE: 5/6/83
     
     HIMS (DMS) - Jim Cox has reorganized the project teams for the Data
     Management System and the Home Budget Planner.  Charlie Chell becomes
     project manager for the HIMS project with Sumiko Endo becoming project
     leader for the Home Budget Planner project.  Bob Fruth moves from the
     HBP to the DMS.  It was felt that the Technical expertise on the HIMS
     project was weighted too heavily on the DMS side with no proven
     in-depth technical expertise on the Home Budget side.
     
     HIMS (HBP) - New project leader in place.  Final ERS scheduled for
     5/30.
     
     GRAPH GENERATOR - First draft of the ERS was delivered this week.
     
     SWEAT TOOLS - Bug found and fixed in the Display List Editor.
     Documentation was dropped back in Schmidt's lap due to Pam Sexton's
     resignation.  WE NEED A WRITER IN OUR DEPARTMENT BADLY.
     
     SUPERMAN III - The game is 99% complete.  Final debugging and tweeking
     are underway.
     
     TENNIS - Final rev. passed off to Test on Tuesday (minus the Easter
     Egg).
     
     TIMEGATE - Design continues.  The two reqs. for this project have been
     approved.  An offer is being made to a programmer on Monday.
     
     SPACEWORMS OF DOOM - Work on the ERS has started.
     
     ANIMATED PUZZLE - Prototype shown to Carris - it't a HIT!  He wants it
     shown to Shaffer and Heimbuck.  Looks like we might have a new product
     on our hands.
