We have searched the Web
for sites that offer quality
files for Mac versions and
asked them to "sponsor" an
individual game. Thus, your
add-ons are being chosen and
prepared by people who know
the games intimately and, like
you, are fans. You will thus find more files with Read Me's included and will
notice a significant rise in quality. If you have a Web site dedicated to a game
(major or minor), we would love to make you a sponsor for Gamebits; please
email to news@imgmagazine.com to find our more. If you can recommend a
Web site, please give us the address and we will approach them.
Special thanks to our charter sponsors, listed below, for their dedication and
enthusiasm. Thanks for making Gamebits better!! Please visit these sites
often:

http://www.connix.com/~rrome/civII.html.

More for Your Game: Scenarios, Cheaters and Add-Ons
Every month we bring you all the new cheaters, scenarios, and other
goodies we could dig up to enhance your gaming experience. Remember,
cheaters can reduce the challenge of your games, so use them at your own
peril. Scenarios are the products of the do-it-yourself gaming culture in
which any average Joe/Jane out there can design brand new challenges for
their favorite game. There will be some losers, but don't let a few lame WADs
keep you from finding the occasional gold nugget. We take no responsibility
for the quality or stability of any of the scenarios we have included.
If you find any goodies that you wish to share with your fellow Mac gamers,
please let us know about them and we will pass them on. Remember, where
appropriate, to pay the shareware fee!
Featured this month is a file of everything you need to play online games. This
collection comes to us courtesy of Rick VanDerveer's site, "Networkable Mac
Games." Look for a file called "Connectivity" in the More For Your Games
folder. We have also included the utility 3Dfx Tweaker to help you make
adjustments in your Techworks Power 3D card.
Other major games featured in MFYG this month are:
Carmageddon, Civilization 2, Close Combat, Close Combat 2, Damage Inc.,
Dark Forces, Diablo, Doom 2, Duke Nukem 3D, EV: Override, F/A-18 Hornet,
Fallout, Gridz, MacMAME, Marathon, Master of Orion 2, Myth, Nanosaur,
Quake, Riven, Shadow Warrior, Warcraft II, and X-Wing.
Help Us
If you are updating your game, please send us a note with the changes you've
implemented. We will be sure to include your update in our next issue. E-
mail us at news@imgmagazine.com.
Also, if you have designed a scenario, cheater, or any other item of interest to
us here at MFYG, do let us know. If we get enough, we might have a special
section for IMG-reader-created stuff.
Also, a few readers have complained that we are missing some items they felt
worthy of inclusion (and too large to be conveniently downloaded). It is our
goal at Gamebits to provide the most up-to-date, complete selection of game
add-ons available, but it impossible for us to find everything. If you hear of
any files you would like to see on IMG, please drop us a line at
news@imgmagazine.com, tell us what it is and where we can find it (ftp
address, if you have it) so we can save you a download. We're not perfect, but
we do take requests!
