- Nope, afraid not. FTA disbanded around late November of 1991, most
- either moving to a new platform (IBM, Amiga, Mac), or leaving the computer
- scene altogether. Their very last finished product was NoiseTracker GS 1.0,
- written and released by Olivier Goguel.
-
- Olivier Goguel donated all the FTAs unfinished in-the-works software
- to Joe Kohn (They included "Delta Demo", "Bouncin'Ferno", "Blue Helmet",
- "Oil Landers", "Bulla", and maybe one or two that I've left out). There was
- a project for a game called "Burger and Fries" to be done by Olivier and
- Bill Heineman, but that seems to have gone uncompleted too. :(
-
- Last I heard, Olivier was working with programming projects for the
- IBM. Too bad, he and the rest of the FTA had talent like no one else ever
- before! :/
