SOFTWARE PUBLISHERS After covering TARTAN, THE GUILD and ZENOBI so far, we're having a bit of a mixed bag this issue. Once we've compiled lists of most games, over four or five issues, we'll try merging them and update them as new games are published, so we should have accurate files of games currently available. NB All games are Spectrum titles, for the time being. GI GAMES, 11 West Mayfield, EDINBURGH. EH9 1TF An ambitious publishing company, run by Gordon Inglis. One or two other adventure magazines have reported that they may be ceasing to trade, and ZENOBI may be taking over the games catalogue. Write for details before buying any, just to be safe. All the following games are priced at `1.99 each, inc. post and packing. Cheques to be made out to SANDVEN LTD. Also, a list of second-hand games may be available.

I'm sure Jon Lemmon would tell you, if MORE >>>> asked nicely. Also, some of the above games may be converted to Sam disk format, so it may be worth asking if this is so. Jon's latest game is entitled THE ANTTILIS MISSION, and may be available as a 100% Plus D disk, with any luck. THE GUILD, 760 Tyburn Road, Erdington, Birmingham, WEST MIDLANDS. B24 9NX A newish publishing set-up, run by Tony Collins, featuring games from a wide number of sources, including some of Tony's own.

We'll then start updating lists wherever we can. Some of the publishers are on the look out for further titles, so, if there are old games you'd like to see available again, let us know. Big publishers may not allow titles to be re-issued, but small, home-grown producers may jump at the chance. If possible, give us details of games, authors, addresses, prices, etc. to make life easier for anyone wishing to track such games down. (My choices would include RIGEL'S REVENGE, SKELLVULLYN TWINE and FUTURE TENSE, which deserve resurrection.) *** --- ***
