Competitions

Congratulations to Ken Morgan who won last issue's crossword. I
hope he's enjoying the first two books in Simon Hawke's 'Wizard'
series. I read the set of six while I was convalescing and
thoroughly enjoyed them.

The answers to the crossword were pawn, treasure (or creature),
Arthur, salt, lie, Infocom, Zenobi, Ent (from Lord of the Rings),
Muna, lantern, zone (from Cortizone), jade (from the Jade Stone),
SynTax, Kristal, Ballyhoo, Deadline, pot, Nord, reserve, tales,
hero, Elvira, mapping, zero, Trinity, mine (or cave), maze, nine,
slay, jar (or jug), Sha. As you can see, a few alternatives were
allowed!

This issue we have two competitions. The first has been devised by
Paul Cardin and is a word puzzle. Full instructions are given on
the competition sheet and entries should be returned by 15th
February 1992. I'll find a suitable prize for the winner.

The prizes for the second competition have been very generously
donated by Inter-Mediates Ltd and is being run in association with
Red Herring magazine. Again, it's a crossword and full details are
on the enclosed leaflet. The closing date is later - March 21st
1992.  There will be five first prizes of four Infocom hint books
each and two of the books cover two games each. Runners-up will win
one twin-pack hint book each and there are 50 books in all to be
given away.

All normal competition rules apply as usual in both cases I hope
you'll have a go at both of them.

Good luck!
