Slaughter Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 As Jiri mentioned earlier in the forum, Robert from GameCenter.cz visited the ALTAR HQ this week. He has now put together a article about the trip, and you can find it here. It's in Czech, so I can't tell you what it contains. But there's some pictures taken at the ALTAR HQ, so you should take a look even if you don't speak Czech. Any volunteers for translating this? Post the translation as a reply to this thread if so.

Tammy Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 That can't be ALTAR. They're all wearing clothes! I also didn't see my picture hanging on any of the walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted April 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 You're right Tammy To think that they would make a fake artickle.... I sent a mail to Robert, and he says they may translate it in a couple of weeks, and that the video should be ready next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted April 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2003 One more thing. For those of you that care, the first picture in the artickle is Mr. Martin Klima, and the third one is Mr. Jiri Rydl (with clothes on.... to think that he would lie and say they were nude all the time... ).

Ghostrider Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 Hello from Czech republic to all ENGLISH speaking UFO fans ... I am a big XCOM fan and I can translate that small article for you - in the future we can maybe cooperate more ... I also work for CZECH TV as an external reviewer for a program called GAMEPAGE and we made a small preview recently and plan a visit to ALTAR in a month . TRANSLATION > Summary First two paragraphs are not important - They say * Welcome to our gallery of Un-exclusive and Exclusive UFO pictures . First we present older pictures and then provide you with the latest exclusives from our visit ... Than 4+6+3 older pics follows . Than comes the important part [ paragraph before the 9New pics ] "And finally our exclusive material from our visit to ALTAR last week . You will find here pictures from one city [uRBAN] mission taking place in southern Europe. We find our team , consisting of four soldiers with various weapons and equipment , eliminating two mutants .  On the screens you can also see in action full screen HARDWARE lighting effects ,which is visible when the rocket is closing to its target . The more "savage" natured readers can enjoy the blood - from both your team & mutants . You can see that authors are really trying to use a lot of details and whatsmore its stil only a "In the making alpha version" According to Altars graphicworkers the models of characters and mutants will improve quite significantly . AND BELEIVE US IT LOOKS MUCH BETTER when MOVING !  Bye Tom E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
