2 ║ Our lifestyle..

"Fight the unholy demon"

And about our productions, it's quite simple:

Cool music?    -  .no.
Cool gfx?      -  |NO|
Cool code?     -  !NO!
Any cool?      - ! NO !

NO c00L?       - nope.

3 ║ Releases & productions

All our productions, except for the totally anzient ones require at least a
moderate 386DX/40 MHz PC with a VGA/MCGA compatible display and videocard
(VLB or PCI card highly recommended). Also at least version 5 or newer
version of DOS is required. (They might work under some older version too,
but we don't guarantee it.)

Type of production:
* = For all people. Everyone who understands English, can try this out.

F = Probably only Finnish people understand this.
(Texts/samples/docs/etc are in finnish! Cultural differences, etc. :)

U = UNOfficial production. This is not a official TNSP production,
although it is mentioned here. So if you see a production marked
with "U", you haven't actually seen it here :)

5 ║ Frequently Asked Questions

(Not in any special order)

Q: Do make software or games for Windo...
A: *AARRGGFD* "kill him!!! kill him!!!"

There are many reasons for this, but the Most Important is
the general "Windows Is Shit"-principle. The second is the
"We Don't Want To Follow Mainstream Just For It". And there
are many others.

Q: Will there be a Linux version of KraKKeRi SiMUlAAtToRi?
A: Due to the many requests :) cCr promised to do something
about it, but not yet.

Q: Do you do software for other operating systems?
A: Yes, for Linux & other Unixes. Only some 'tools' for now,
but maybe we will manage to make a demo or game later.

Q: Have you made / will you do any commercial productions?
A: No we have not done any commercial stuff and at least for now we
probably will not do any in future either. TNSP is a group based
more on the spirit of hobby than mere commercial interest.

Q: How can I join you?
A: Best way is to send a free-form application for to TNSP's
general e-mail address. Currently, there is no other way :)

Q: What is required when joining you?
A: In some ways, a lot is required. You don't need to be "The Best", but
you must not be "The Worst" either :) A good aTTiTuDE is ofcourse
an additional plus point. You should know lot about computers, hate Windows
and use Linux or OS/2, etc...

And as I previously said, the friendship is the most important element
that TNSP is based on. I.e. you should like us and we should like you :)
