- Dear GIF News Readers,
- The following information was taken from Claude Rains' Release #18
- file. We congratulate him and appreciate the work that goes into these
- lists. We hope you find it as informative as we have. I, myself, do not
- know Claude Rains so please do not direct questions about this list to me.
- This should give you a good idea of what games will be coming out in '92.
- Happy New Year!
- - Editor-in-Chief

- RELEASES - #18
-
- Hi all. Claude here. This edition of RELEASES actually snuck up
- on me too! I wasn't really planning on putting this out until after
- the new year and the Jan. CES show, but such is life. I got a LOT
- of new information, got it quick, and thought, "what the heck - let's
- just waste a weekend and put this out for out beloved readers!!" You
- know I just live for this ... NOT.
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE: Claude's next version of RELEASES and from that time onward
- will be written in Word for Windows 2.0. I'm sick of using editors, so if
- you're not into Windows, get into it, or get it from someone else, or
- whatever. This will be written in W4W2.0 formatted for an HPLJ 3. Same
- goes for Capsules.
