Calabasas, CA — 8/3/2004 – Entertainment software developer and publisher NovaLogic, Inc. is delighted to announce that the groundbreaking new multiplayer FPS title Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising has set another new world record for simultaneous players in an LAN FPS game .

On Friday July 30 th, 105 players at the CyberAthlete Professional League event in Grapevine, Texas connected to the CPL LAN server and played in a single game of Joint Operations, using NovaLogic’s own LAN Tournament Server. This is the first time a fully playable LAN game hosting over 100 players has taken place. The LAN game took place in the BYOC (bring your own computer) area, and on the Shuttle, Centon and nVidia booths.

Twin Galaxies' Official Video Game & Pinball Book of World Records was at the CPL to witness and certify the world record. "This breakthrough," explains Twin Galaxies' Walter Day, "will definitely be one of the more important technological achievements listed in the forthcoming edition of Twin Galaxies' Official Video Game & Pinball Book of World Records. Our 'Milestones' section in the record book will herald this as a world record, noting that Joint Operations challenges the entire gaming community to set higher and higher goals in game development."
