I had heard that there was an Aliens Quake project
taking place out there someplace on the web, while doing searches for AliensTC
Doom stuff one evening. In my travels, I found a site where the oddest message
was communicated. It seems that FOX, (TV and Films) has decided that the use
of Aliens in some of our software projects for the iD Games is somehow
detrimental to their abilitiy to make billions of dollars in their entertainment
endeavors. I have also heard that they are attacking and taking to task the kids
who have X-Files web sites as well. It's obvious that some Einstein programming
executive thought this mess up. No one at FOX has ever heard of free advertising,
or word of mouth. Anyway, I think the best bet for all of us web folks is to
send the message to FOX that we ain't gonna go to their new Aliens movie.
Besides, I saw a review that said it sucked! (*As it turns out, the movie
did suck, and it stunk up all the theatres, and video sales were dismal. Hope
they learned something.....)

Anyway, here's the text of this fellows page. he was
obviously taken to task himself.

The Alien Quake project has been discontinued by 20th Century Fox.
I received an email on April 11th from a 20th Century Fox representative
that ordered us to cease all activity. The Alien Quake project was
using copyrighted material without permission and this makes Alien Quake an
unauthorized and illegal production.
Therefore, you are hereby ordered to remove all your Alien Quake files from
your computer storage.
"OK FOX DUDES,
COME ON OVER TO MY HOUSE AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET ANYWHERE CLOSE TO
MY HARD DRIVE"......[EVIL GRIN]....
You must also remove all references to Alien Quake
from any WWW pages or internet sites you keep or maintain. All distribution
of Alien Quake is illegal and you should know that the Alien Quake team are
under obligation to report the name and URL of any distributor to 20th
Century Fox. Please let us know if you know the URL of a distributor or
potential distributor.
Thank you for your co-operation.
I GOT YOUR COOPERATION RIGHT HERE!
