Could this mean Uplink might come out tomorrow?

Link?

Edit: found it: (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/ubb/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum;=Uplink+FAQs&number;=71")Uplink FAQ(/url)

Checked the FTP server, not there yet. I'd bet on a release tomorrow; 23 April is referenced several times.

Wow... that's really neat. I've been looking forward to this game for a while (heh I even downloaded the PC version at school but it didn't work right). I hope it does come out tomorrow, I'll be a very happy camper.

I doubt it, no game goes from b5 to release in a day.
And its the 23rd, no Uplink.
Bad luck.

It's not the 23rd in the USA where Ambrosia is...

"Ah ah... I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots, or only five? Well to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you got to ask yourself one question: do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?"

Just becuase it says it is in b5 doesn't mean it is, and Ambrosia has never lied or given misguided release dates before...

Oh, don't you worry, it will come out right as the midnight bells chime here in Ambrosia's time zone.

You ruin all our foolish hopes sometimes. Oh well, wonder what's with the date then?

oooh, intriguing. I can't possible imagine why they would give a release date in their FAQ if it wasn't actually released on that day, I'm sure they must've thought of the implications of people stumbling on their FAQ before the game was released...well, at least I'm crossing my fingers that that's how it'll be. Regardless, I'm in NYC all day tomorrow so I'll be hoping for a pleasant surprise when I get home

Though, note: in all reality, since the game moved up a beta just a few days ago, it's hard to imagine it could jump directly to GM from there. So, I wouldn't hold your breaths.

Just relax everybody, it was a mistake. The date was put in as a placeholder when it was first written up, and was not removed when it was put online. It's already been changed. Games don't go from b5 to final in one day.

Thanks for pointing that out. I was going to leave that blank on the
board, I'd just put that date in for a placekeeper.

And with that...
