Nocturne goes Gold

Nocturne has gone gold, which means the code is done and the next stop is a box on a store shelf. In October 1999, that is the magic.

Nocturne has gone gold, which means the code is done and the next stop is a box on a store shelf. In October 1999, that is the magic phrase: stop tweaking it, start pressing discs.

The useful part: Terminal Reality has also lowered the minimum system requirements for the game and has added support for Voodoo card users. Placing the player in the realm of classic 1930?s pulp action adventure, Nocturne uses advanced technology to create a world of dark brooding shadows, suspense and terror in which the paranormal and supernatural threaten all mankind. In an effort to counteract these growing inhuman menaces, President Theodore Roosevelt created a special investigation bureau unofficially dubbed the Spookhouse. No score yet, obviously, but gold status means the waiting game is almost over.
