Ocean's new game "Epic" used to be Microdeal's sequel to "Goldrunner 2", aptly called "Goldrunner 3". Microdeal, in the middle of development of "GR 3", decided to get out of the software market. Ocean promptly bought the rights to it, and released it as "Epic". I believe it is now out as we speak. I have seen some screenshot of it in ACE magazine, and it looks awesome!
