That's
it! The database has been frozen at the 15,050
entries' mark, and now we have entered the fine-tunning
steps that need to be done before release. The database
will now be converted to the new GameBase format
(the team used a special format during James development
of the GameBase program) but this will take some time
as Michael Plate has to crosslink more than 1,800 precursor/sequel/related
games. As always, watch this space for developments...

"The White Wizard has been unhappy with the lowness
of the quality of the adventures this month. There are
three very poor and one fair to middling cassette adventure
in this months review section. Looking back at my all-time
favourite trio, the Zork series, was the high point
of the month but having to review the others made me
very annoyed. Where have all the decent cassette adventures
gone dear readers? I hope to bring good news to you
diskless adventurers next month, but until then you'll
just have to make do."

Das Schwert Skar
Not 100% working: 74 (-)
Michael
has been travelling to distant lands these last weeks
and was not able to work much for Gamebase.
Thankfully, after sending Darth Demetrius to knock on
his door he promised he'll be back with an update next
week. Let's hope I won't have to call on the Sith again...
