Derek Smart, the developer of Battlecruiser 3000AD has plans in porting
BC3K to OS/2!! This is really great news, there were a lot of
disussions about this subject in the comp.os.os2.game newsgroup. Today,
Derek Smart officaly announced it at the BC3K website at 
http://www.bc3000ad.com/gnn/

This is only possible because SciTech Software (http://www.scitechsoft.com)
is porting the MGL-Library to OS/2, for sound he will use SEAL for OS/2
(http://www.netlabs.org/projects/seal.html)

However, because there are only a few OS/2 gamers out there, the
project will not have a very high priority. If you really are
interested in this game and if you would BUY!!! it, let Derek Smart
know!

and a short part of the offical announcement ( I hope some IBM'ers out
there are reading this...):

[...]
With the assistance of the OS2 community, plans are underway to port
BC3K v2.0 to native OS2. There aren't that many OS2 games out there.
Two guesses why that is. Considering IBMs marketing screw up of a
superior operating system, game developers haven't bothered doing a
native OS2 game, even a port, with good reason. OS2 has been my
development platform (as well as Peter's) for several years now and it
was only recently, after visiting the OS2 games newsgroups, that I was
made aware of these advancements in graphics and sound technologies for
OS2. Hopefully, if those IBM marketing 'suits' are reading this, they
will sit down and think about this carefully and spend some dollars on
companies that are striving to push this OS into the mainstream gaming
arena. Well, one can only dream.
