Chris Charla Next Generation magazine Put You in COMMAND of Your Account r.jii The Washington Post WASHINGTON "Get ready to go Higher, faster than you've ever gone before," tease the producers of a new video game, N20: Nitrous Oxide i also the name of a dangerous1 Intoxicating inhalant used by. some of the same young people who play video games. designers long have used the jriusic and images of the drug-'infused rave scene, but the marketing of N20 produced by Fox Interactive, a division of Twentieth -Century Fox, for the Sony PlayStation may be the most blatant in evoking that culture. 1 J'lE they're using drug it's pretty disgusting, because a lot of kids do play games," says; Chris Charla, editor of the video" gaming magazine Next Gen- tive, which shipped more than 100,000 copies of the game this month, says the game and its marketing do not glamorize drug use, and he notes that the company has not received any complaints. "The graphics are unbelievably exciting and tend to remind people of rave culture, but the whole premise of the game is that the speeder-craft is fueled by nitrous oxide," says Christopher Kingry.

Indeed, nitrous oxide can be used as a fuel enhancer for racing cars. But the game's advertisements in Spin, Swing and other magazines seem to refer to another of nitrous oxide's uses as a popular drug at dance parties known as raves. "Never trip alone," it reads. "Always use 2 player mode." The game's music comes from the Crystal Method, an electronica band whose name is a pun on another popular rave drug, crystal meth. The ad doesn't bother Douglas Lowenstein, president of the Interactive Digital Software Association, the trade association that represents the nation's video and PC game publishers.

"The ad encourages you to play the game. It doesn't encourage you to use drugs," he says. "I don't think the game has any problematic content tn it. There are perfectly conventional uses for nitrous oxide." The game itself does not contain any drug references. It's rated as "suitable" for teens by the industry's Entertainment Software Rating Board.

Fipke's discovery triggered a two-year diamond rush in the Northwest Territories, one of the largest mineral-staking rushes ever In North America. The other project closest to fruition is the proposed Diavik mine, scheduled to begin production in 2001.

The diamond boom couldn't have come at a better time for the Northwest Territories, where the important gold industry and other mining sectors have been battered by falling prices. "Thank God the diamonds are here, or we'd really be In Vaydik said. One of the key unanswered questions for the Ekati mine is how Broken Hill will market its diamonds. The company Is negotiating with De Beers, the world's No. 1 producer and marketer of diamonds, but BHP spokesman Graham Nicholls said Ekati's diamonds will be marketed through "multiple channels" that will bypass De Beers at least partially.

De Beers opened its first Canadian office in Vancouver, British Columbia, in January, confirming its keen interest in Northwest Territories diamonds. "Canada will become a very Important diamond producer," the office's manager, Tom Beardmore-Gray, said in a telephone interview. "We would hope, at some stage, to have our own mine." Nicholls and Beardmore-Gray both indicated some sort of deal was likely between BHP and De Beers. "You can't be In the diamond business without dealing with De Beers," said Vaydik.
