"Hello Simon 3D fans, News Mole here.
I've come out of retirement especially to give you the news you've all been waiting for - Simon The Sorcerer 3D will finally be released on April 19th.
After many months of false starts and postponements, we have struck a deal with Crucial Entertainment and Vivendi which will see Simon 3D hitting the shelves in less than a fortnight.
We'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for being so patient over the years and putting up with all the misinformation and let downs, but it really was out of our hands and for legal reasons we were often not able to explain the current situation to our loyal fans.
However, all that is over now - the disks have been duplicated and the boxes have been printed. Hopefully you'll all be clammering to get hold of a copy and you will shortly be able to do so via our very own Adventure Soft online store, which is the best way to keep small independant publishers such as ourselves in business.
Our online store is currently being upgraded to cope with the demand and within the next few days I will be emailing you again with a link that will enable you to pre-order a copy of Simon 3D direct from us. So stay tuned!
Thanks again for all your support and patience, another message coming soon!
News Mole outta here"

"Andrew: Also, you guys have got a good mix of things like action and adventure, but I think a lot of the fans would like to know if you guys are still interested in doing the "pure" adventure games like Monkey Island again or--
Simon: I think it's... point and click graphic adventure?
Jake: Well, even more like Grim Fandango where you run around--
Simon: Well, Full Throttle [2] will have a bit of that. Full Throttle is going to be an interesting combination of action and storytelling adventure. I guess in some ways the original Full Throttle did as well, but the action was much more basic in those days. But yeah, we're going to be doing that and Mike Stemmle is looking at new ways of evolving the graphic adventure. Again, it's part of our heritage and it's something we're not going to give up on.

Andrew: And what about a new Monkey Island game? Are you guys interested in doing that still?
Simon: At some point in the future, there will undoubtedly be more Monkey Island games. No doubt about that."
