News Archive - September 2001
  We are MOVING!
28 Sep 01
 

Yup, we are changing server, so probably from this Monday and for a couple of days our site will be unaccessible to mere mortals. There will be no update this weekend as a result, but still I found the time to change the games of the week! :)

The forum will still be operable, though, and we'll post any news we may have there -- you'll just have to go straight there by typing the http://www.ezboard.com/ url and entering gamebase64 in the 'Board ID' text box.

The tape version of Adventure International UK's Questprobe 3 - The Fantastic Four is the chosen one this week. I think this is the only rare of the pack, so you should now have disk and tape versions of all 3 of the Questprobe games...

Are you sceptical? Either way, you can find three Scepticals in the Rare Games Corner. Each of these will be in gamebase in their respective game entries, but here we've assempled all three in a single disk since they are not very common on the net...

Message to the individual who mailed Michael about a special version of Transylvania: Michael lost your e-mail address after an Outlook crash foolishly corrupted all his recent e-mails (the poor Outlook proggy was assimilated shortly afterwards). Pls re-send your mail!
