SOON COMING IN "ST NEWS" - VOLUME 7 ISSUE 3
(ER...THE SIXTH UNDEAD ISSUE!)
by Richard Karsmakers
Last time we actually had quite a lot to offer for the
forthcoming issue. We don't know if we have succeeded in that aim
again - you may be the judge for that.
Although last I also promised to cut the crap yet didn't, I now
really intend to.
So let's get going.
In the upcoming issue of ST NEWS (time will prove whether that
will be Volume 7 Issue 3 or Volume 8 Issue 1) we hope to be able
to offer you the following:
-------------------------- Solutions ----------------------------
Our personal custom adventure wizard, Math Claessens, sent us a
lot recently. This assures that we will have some hot solutions
coming up for at least a year or three. We will offer about
eight solutions per issue - with which we already started in this
issue). Some of the titles we'll have lined up for you are:
Conquest of the Longbow
The Secret of Monkey Island II
The Colonel's Bequest
The Sorcerer gets all the Girls (I and II)
Hero's Quest (I & II)
Space Quest IV
Leisure Suit Larry V
Police Quest III
And some old ones we accidentally missed out on
(We realise many of these games are not even out on ST yet)
(Whereas some of 'em will never be released on the ST)
(But who cares. Now you can harass your MS-DOS pals)

That's it, folks! I hope nonetheless that this list of
forthcoming (or not) stuff will cause you to harass your Public
Domain Librarian for ST NEWS Volume 7 Issue 3 (i.e. the Sixth
Undead Issue). Do not expect this until winter or thereabouts!
If you feel this is too much time between two issues, do feel
free to write a lot of interesting stuff yourself and send it to
us!
Disclaimer
The text of the articles is identical to the originals like they appeared
in old ST NEWS issues. Please take into consideration that the author(s)
was (were) a lot younger and less responsible back then. So bad jokes,
bad English, youthful arrogance, insults, bravura, over-crediting and
tastelessness should be taken with at least a grain of salt. Any contact
and/or payment information, as well as deadlines/release dates of any
kind should be regarded as outdated. Due to the fact that these pages are
not actually contained in an Atari executable here, references to scroll
texts, featured demo screens and hidden articles may also be irrelevant.
