Editorial

Hello and welcome to a late issue of SynTax. I'm writing this on
21st Sept and still hoping to get the magazine out before the end
of the month. But with hardly any contributions sent in, it's been 
a struggle getting it finished. As last issue, I've updated
some of my Red Herring reviews for golden oldies that can now be
downloaded from Underdogs. I think that shows I've made the 
right decision in stopping SynTax next year, though it was a
hard decision to make and a big bit of me *really* wants to keep
going. I was gratified to get messages from so many people saying
that though they would be sorry to see the end of SynTax, they
understood my reasons for stopping.

When I last installed XP (with my broadband problems) I forgot to 
save my Syberia saves (drat!) and haven't had a chance to replay it. 
I will do, though, because it's a lovely game and I was thoroughly
enjoying it. I've had an occasional look at Emperor, another great
game, but by and large I've been trying demos to review them in
SynTax. I find them very useful to get an idea of a game and
usually I can tell from the demo whether I'll be tempted to buy
the full game. The only one I have bought in the last 6 months or
so is SimCity 4 as there wasn't a demo for it. I'll review it next
issue.

I know this is a very short Editorial, but I'll stop there and get
on with the magazine proper. I hope you enjoy it and, of course,
if you can help with reviews for next issue, I'd be very grateful
because I now have just one left!
