Hi Eric!
I sent email to the authors of the article, who referred me to the
developers and I never received any information back from them
as it was difficult to determine if I sent email to the
correct people. They aren't explicitly mentioned in the article.

The last contact information I have was one of the writers
for the magazine, perhaps he can point you to them. let me
know if you have any luck. His contact information would
be a good starting point. Of course if you haven't
seen it already, the article can be found at:

If you get Inferno ported to the N64, you owe me a
copy for all the aid and assistance. 8-) The N64 hardware
is an excellent low cost platform if they'd just up the RAM.

Seriously, though, let me know how it works out.
