? THE FUTURE
Will there be another Dark Portal? Perhaps. But that depends on two
things - whether you guys and gals out there like this first edition,
and whether I can write anymore half-way decent stories. If you are a
writer yourself, or just have some ideas for stories but can't pull
them off yourself, then please write to me. Comments, criticism, help,
advice (to give or ask), I want to hear from you. My address can be
found on the "Back Page".
There are plenty of Black Dragon productions floating around in PD
land. I would like to take this opportunity to point them out to you.
A list of contact addresses will follow the advertisements. After all,
nobody else is going to premote our stuff, are they?

first aid kit. Blast monsters, solve puzzles, buy beefy weapons,
prepare yourself... this is 3D-perspective alien war!!
