Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ********************************************************************** Contact Carla Hanzlik, carla@sundialsystems.com For immediate release ________________________________________________________________ Sundial Expands Warped Jeopardy, Announces Celebrity Contestants The dazzling Warped Jeopardy! live game show produced by Sundial Systems and scheduled for Sunday at Warpstock has been expanded with new sound, new video clips and new multimedia. Warped Jeopardy! debuted last month on the west coast "and was great then" says producer Randell Flint, "but now it's even better." The on-stage contestants are three well-known OS/2 users of high stature. Author David Moskowitz of OS/2 Warp Unleashed fame will be first to tackle the questions as Sundial poses the answers. OS/2 advocate Judy McDermott, driving force behind VOICE and the Warpstock Board, brings her OS/2 knowledge to the front of the Warped Jeopardy! theater. And Larry Finkelstein, respected OS/2 developer and President of Warpstock Inc., holds down chair number three. The stage show is bigger, better, louder and brighter. The multimedia is greatly expanded "with more full-motion video playbacks, tighter production, an enhanced projection system for our expanded trivia list" says Flint. "We've rounded up some absolutely great clips from the tape vaults of OS/2 nostalgia," he adds. The entire multimedia show is controlled by a single machine running Warp 4, a custom system created by Sundial. "And we've doubled the amount of audience participation, since we found that everyone likes a chance at the questions when we give them the answers." Warped Jeopardy! is based on the Jeopardy television show. The computer driven game board offers different topic categories, the host gives an answer, and the contestants must give a correspondingly correct question. In effect, the three celebrity guests have the questions and Sundial has the answers. "This is meant to be a fun time," says Sundial President Randell Flint. "The Sundial crew and I have spent several months creating Warped Jeopardy! so that major OS/2 gatherings such as Warpstock can have a unique, enjoyable and OS/2-oriented special attraction. The people who come to Warpstock are deeply involved with OS/2, and we've created an entire multimedia gameboard with some truly wonderful and delightful trivia questions for the three Warped experts we've scheduled for Sunday." Sundial's Warped Jeopardy! show starts right after Sunday lunch. Seating is limited and you'll need an admission ticket, so pick up your free tickets early at Sundial's exhibitor booth, where "Sundial Has The Answers". Sundial Systems supplies OS/2 users with a number of high-quality software products covering spreadsheet, database, desktop enhancement, time management, word processing and email needs and consisting of Mesa 2, Rover Pack, Relish, DBExpert, Clearlook and a new product to be announced at Warpstock.
