- Winning Strategy Tips: Tegel's Mercenaries
- ------------------------------------------
-
- Here are some hints to aid you in your missions:
-
- Choose a team of 4 mercs instead of 6 so that handling them is easier.
- It's a good idea to make your leader a strong, stealthy character with
- perhaps a flame-thrower. You might want to make your 4th merc choice a
- medic in case of injuries. Some mercs have itchy trigger fingers. You
- might want to set the middle mercs to Ignore so that they don't
- accidentally attack the mercs in front of them. Eliminate inventory
- waste by giving the items to dead bodies or containers. Try to re-use
- and keep the same team of mercs alive since their attributes will
- increase with every successful mission. Control-Mode using one tough
- merc is the best way to accomplish a quick task and get out.

- ---------------------------
- Dear Gamer,
-
- This very first issue of Mindcraft's newsletter gives me the
- opportunity to greet you as my fellow game player, as well as our
- valued customer.
-
- Some five years ago we formed Mindcraft to fulfill a vision. We
- wanted to bring together a group of talented individuals who are avid
- game players, with skills in game design, programming, and computer
- graphics.
-
- To this day, we continue to consider applicants for employment at
- Mindcraft only if they can demonstrate a dedicated interest and deep
- knowledge of computer games.
-
- Our reason for this requirement is simple. We believe only a true
- game player can accurately recognize what you, the customer, want in PC
- games. Yet, even with all of us fanatical gamers under one roof, it is
- still not possible for us to know the needs and preferences of all our
- customers.
-
- This is where you, our fellow game players, can help. We greatly
- value any feedback, suggestions, or comments you may have concerning
- our products. If you can take a few moments to let us know your
- views, I give you my personal word that they will not go unnoticed.
- Our goal is to provide you with the most challenging and creative PC
- entertainment available.
-
- Thank you for supporting Mindcraft. We look forward to serving
- your gaming needs for many years to come.
-
- Best regards,
-
- Ali Atabek
- President, Mindcraft Software, Inc.

- "First of all, I wish to complain that, with the exception of paying
- attention to my grown up family at the holidays and sleeping, I have
- not been able to drag myself away from the computer and your new game
- (The Magic Candle 3) since it arrived! I am probably one of the few
- people in the country who didn't put on weight over the holidays . . .
- one cannot survive battles, map towers and towns, and eat snacks at the
- same time."

- "The subject of this letter is your new game, Tegel's Mercenaries. It
- is an extremely addictive game, and I am still enjoying it immensely.
- I especially enjoy the graphics, music, sound effects, and overall
- storyline . . . I believe that you have a real winner with this game,
- and I hope to see continued development of the concept."
