-
- 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!
-

- * 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!

- Dialogue!

- 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.
