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!

This
time it's Colleen's Mystery Voyage, a three-part
adventure. (Bored of adventures? This is all I know.
Why don't you request/suggest a rare non-adventure
then?)
