Delphine's next release 'Heart of Darkness' will be through Virgin
Games and not U.S Gold.

One of the first releases for the new Atari Falcon machine will
be an adventure from Mirage called 'Space Junk'.

Mike Singleton's next game will be called 'Galacticon' for Mirage,
following hot on the heels of 'Ashes of the Empire'.

E.A have bought up Origin Systems (creators of the Ultima
series).

U.S Gold have bought up Paragon Software (creators of the
Wizardry series).

There is a strong possibility of further adventures in the world
of 'Legend' from Mindscape sometime next year in the form of data
disks or a fully blown sequel or maybe even both.

'Legend' is now being bundled with the 'Legend Adventurers
Handbook' (the hintbook) for the same retail price as when the
game was released on its own earlier this year.

The initial release version of MicroProse' RPG 'Darklands' on
the PC contains bugs and is missing a 'load saved game' option.
If you have bought this version, contact MicroProse technical
support on 0666 504399 to arrange for an update.
