+        <h1>ActionCube v0.9 (BETA)</h1>
+        
+        <h2>About</h2>
+        
+        <p>
+            ActionCube is a total conversion of Wouter van Oortmerssen´s FPS called <a href="http://cubeengine.com">Cube</a>.
+            Set in a realistic looking environment, as far as that´s possible with this engine, while gameplay stays fast and arcade.
+            This game is all about team oriented multiplayer fun.
+        </p>
+        
+        <p>
+            We also consider a port to Sauerbraten (most likely to be called <i>ActionBraten</i>) in wich we plan to further refine gameplay 
+            and visuals, and possibly adding a unique self made texture set.
+        </p>
