UPCOMING MINDCRAFT GAMES 11/01/93
MECHAMANDER Available January '94
It is a time when the Earth, stripped of her ores and minerals, is
nothing more than a soggy crust in space. Mining corporations look to the
stars to make their fortunes, but in space, it takes more than a good
marketing strategy to survive!
As the Mechamander, your job is to drop on ore-rich planetoids, "clean-
up" any opposition, and secure ores and minerals to be sent back to Earth.
Your company provides the state-of-the-art brawn -- a Dropship complete with
refinery and production facilities. You provide the brains for strategies on
where to mine, what to build, and when to attack. Balance your company's
weapons of destruction with mining and repair facilities, and set out to claim
your piece of the pie.
This isn't going to be an easy salary, though! Government regulations
don't exist in the void. Other mining empires, each with its own prototype
vehicles, have the same idea about making their profit, and eliminating the
competition amongst the rocks in space!
KEY FEATURES
* Become the Mechamander for one of the following mining corporations:
Dantai Shi, Delta Resource Group, Industrial Commonwealth of Europe,
American Mining Corp.
* Each computer competitor has their own unique AI "personality".
* Command up to 18 mining and attack vehicles, each as unique as the company
that makes them!
* Mobile production facilities keep your base of operations out of trouble
and in the ore!
* An innovative player interface lets you commit to strategy, not to
finding the right buttons.
* Track your units as they move smoothly and realistically across the
theater of action.

CYBERGO Available February '94
by Mindcraft Software, Inc. and Toyogo Inc.
CyberGO is a meeting of the ancient game of Go with the electric
cyberpunk images of tomorrow. "Go" is a complex game of territorial
domination, expressed in the simplistic use of two types of "stones", and a
gridded play field. Originating in Asia and extremely popular in Japan,
it is a game easily learned, yet filled with forceful strategies and covert
ploys difficult to master. In Ancient times, on the eve of any great
conflict, Asian Warlords would plot battlefield strategy on their humble Go
boards. In the techno world of tomorrow, the cold logic of a wicked Go
cyberdroid bent on your humiliation - and annihilation - has transformed
this simple play field into a chaotic universe where mind and microchip
grind in explosive combat!
CyberGO is the latest product created by Bruce Wilcox, a leading
teacher of Go in America, and author of Go Master. CyberGO combines the
features and teaching expertise of his innovative Go products with high-
tech, pulsating cyberpunk effects energized by Mindcraft Software. CyberGO
is designed to introduce a new generation of players to the ancient game of
Go, as well as raise Go to new levels of intellectual insight and fanatical
entertainment!
KEY FEATURES
* The most advanced Go AI available!
* Play on traditional Oriental Boards, or challenge NEMESIS, the cyborg Go
master from the future, for the fate of the universe!
* On-line manual teaches you how to play, advanced strategies, and
information on Go, while you play!
* 3 levels of AI difficulty for the beginner and Dan (expert) player.
* Game Editor lets you review your game, or make changes in a previous game!
* Easy-to-use pull-down menus for quick access!
* Game Analyzer reviews every aspect of your game, on the play field, while
you play!
* Get hints, warnings, and outright insults from NEMESIS through Digital
Dialogue!

the life of a young King struggling for survival on one of several

GRYPHON MASTERS Available May '94
Bryn cannot rest in peace; his eternal slumber is corrupted with the
curse of the undead. Once again, he walks the realm of the living - a
dark, barbaric world where pagan curses and human sacrifice weave into the
lives of all. Iron prisons pulsate with the souls of the damned, and angry
gods prowl the earth and sea. Tortured, he must solve the enigma of his
twisted fate and return to the solace of the grave, or dwell in eternal
pain amongst the living.
From the annals of Celtic mythology rises a new innovation in role-
playing. Months of detailed research, and intensive "imagineering" have
gone into the creation of The Gryphon Masters! Enter a dimension unlike
any fantasy game before, where mere "dragons" and "orcs" are eclipsed by
the majesty and power of the warrior goddesses, hybrid monsters, and other
fantastic beings of Celtic lore. With its dynamic approach to fantasy
adventuring, The Gryphon Masters will usher in the evolution of the PC
fantasy game realm.
KEY FEATURES
* 3-D Isometric perspective adds a refreshing dimension of play.
* Mount the winged Gryphons and engage your enemies in aerial combat!
* Interact with host of unique personalities, and form your own multi-
character party.
* Adventure-styled puzzles challenge your wits and will!

* "No Hit Points" Damage system is dramatic, specific, and deadly!
* Professionally scripted for mature fantasy RPG enthusiasts.
