a game for BeOS
BShisen is a fun and addictive strategy game for the Be
Operating System (BeOS), based on the popular and award-winning GShisen engine. "Make no
mistakes though,
BShisen was virtually rewritten from scratch to take advantage of the unique features of the
BeOS, such as messaging and pervasive multithreading" said lead engineer
Kelvin Sherlock.
Nicknamed "Productivity Killer '99", BShisen will revolutionize the way people waste time
with the BeOS. According to one non-existant government employee: "Before BShisen, If I
wanted to
be non-productive, I had to waste time booting into Windows to play Solitaire or Minesweeper.
With BShisen though, I can be non-productive from within BeOS! Thanks to BeOS
and BShisen, I'm 33% less productive." A high level executive from a fictional
internet-related
company added, "Most of the people around here are hooked on BShisen, and I couldn't be
happier. Productivity has suffered, we've lost more money than the GDP of most countries,
and our stock prices are higher than ever!"

To quote:
Just when you thought you might get some work done, along comes BShisen.
Simple to learn, fun to play and addictive as Mountain Dew, BShisen safely
keeps you from the stresses of work or the dangers that lurk whenever you
walk away from your computer.
Plus, it was written from scratch to take advantage of BeOS. Icing on the
cake.
