LAMPREY SYSTEMS ANNOUNCES CANCELLATION OF SOFTWARE PROJECT
BOISE, ID -- January 26, 1997 -- Lamprey Systems CEO, Robert
Carr, announced the cancellation of Lamprey Systems first
mainstream software project, Otto's Springtime Adventure.
The interactive children's CD-ROM was targeted for the Windows 95
platform and was scheduled to ship in mid-March. According to
Carr, miscommunication between Lamprey's management and software
development team resulted in Otto's Springtime Adventure being
developed as a Macintosh-Only program entitled Shock Da Monkey.
Furthermore Carr states, Rather than being the heart warming saga
of a sensitive young man coming of age in rural New England town,
the program now involves using electrical shocks to coerce house
apes to retrieve drugs and money from mine fields.
Lamprey Systems refused to comment on the rumor that Shock Da Monkey
would run on any color Macintosh using System 7. However upper
Lamprey management did confirm that disgruntled Lamprey Systems
employees were distributing the rogue program on the web at
