Subject: Empire Master 2.8.5
Date: Wed, 8 Dec 93 16:59 EST
This is the latest Empire Master* demo application.
Empire Master is a challenging conquer-the-world strategy wargame.
You start with a single city and use it to produce armies to go
out and conquer more cities so you can produce more armies and
ships and planes until you capture the entire world. The only
problem (there is always a problem) is that the machine is also
building armies and conquering cities and fully intends to
capture the world for itself.
You can't save or restore games in the demo version and some
game options are disabled, but the complete game and all commands
are available. You can get the full unrestricted version with
a printed manual, network play and a disk full of goodies by mail.
Ordering information is included with the demo.

Subject: Update for empire master rule set "Fantastic" now 1.1
Here is an update of my Empire Master rule set, Fantastic universe:
Men and Monsters I and II. The new version has more color icons
(size 10 pieces are now shown in color) and is friendlier to aggressive
pieces. The new version number is 1.1, it is a more advanced version
of the file listed at sumex as Empire-Master-Rule-Set.hqx or something
quite similiar in the info-mac/games directory.
You still need to have the empire master game (registered version)
to play it, so send the author your $$$ right now!
This rule set includes warriors, griffins, dragons, invisible
stalkers and other fantasy creatures with which you can reak
mayhem upon your adversary.
Please replace any prior versions you may have with the following file:

Evocation is a highly interactive adventure based on a surprising technique of direct action between the player and the scenario.
Simple and intuitive, Evocation does not require the use of the keyboard.
The images, made using Computer Graphic techniques combined with traditional drawing, are supported by impressive digital effects and stereo sound-track that accompanies you through the entire course of the game.
CHARACTERISTICS:
* GRAPHICS: over 30 graphic screens at a resolution of 510x275
* OBJECTS: more than 300 objects that assure maximum interactivity with the various enviroments.
* TEXT: original scripts and texts written in multi-language with the function of simultaneous translation.
This patch only converts Hellcats 1.0 to Hellcats version 1.0.4. There is
another patch program to convert 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 to 1.0.4 (I don't know of any
patch for 1.0.1, or if this versions was ever officially released).
You must patch a "fresh" copy of Hellcats (one that has not been run before).
As a double check, the Finder's information about the version of Hellcats I
used to make the patch indicates:
Size: 397 K
Created: Jan 7, 1992 6:26 PM
Modified: Feb 5, 1992 4:55 PM
To find out what version you have, launch the program and select the about
Hellcats menu item found in the apple menu; the version information can be
found in the splash window. (some versions don't contain the correct version
information in the Finder's "get info" window. and others are reported to lack
version information in the splash window.)
What's New:
The major feature of version 1.0.4 is the support of Sound Manager 3.0 or
greater. (AV users can now have sound for their game.)
Versions 1.01 to 1.03 were various bug fixes.
I've enclosed the "Pacific Conflict" data base because it is slightly larger
and has a more recent modification date then the one that came on my version
1.0 disk.
Enjoy.

A Crowning Guide to Castles: Siege & Conquest
Version 1.0 May 1994
Please direct all comments and additional tactics and strategies to "poulee@cs.uh.edu".
This guide is written presuming players are playing the "Impossible" level with "Geographic" product distribution. Hence if one comprehends the winning approaches elucidated in this guide, one should have less trouble applying them in the lesser playing levels. Another assumption is that players are role-playing the Valois ruler.
Introduction
CS&C is an excellent strategy game that has tremendous play and replay values through the many carefully and splendidly accomplished implementation of game elements. Computer City sells it for $39.95 versus $49.94 in Software Etc in Houston.
This player has played as the Valois King, Yoyoboy, to be declared King of Bretagne by The Pope in the month of January, in the year 1819 after the death and resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ, with the rating Emperor (points above 12000) in the Impossible level. The following is an excursion of the fine points King Yoyoboy has gleaned through those tumultuous years of intense administrative, diplomatic and military maneuvering.

Here is the SimCity 2000 1.1 Updater just downloaded from the Maxis
BBS. Although the documentation goes into more specifics, this updater
generally fixes some problems with airports and budgeting. Enjoy!
Bullfrog's futuristic vision of capitalism gone awry is coming to the Mac.
This is a demo of EA's upcoming Syndicate Macintosh. It includes only
one playable mission, but unfortunately none the fantastic animation
sequences of its PC parent. Guess we'll just have to wait for the release.
Kudos Electronic Arts!!!
