- RTZ: Dunno. Never heard of it.

- LGoP2: Gas Pump Girls: It's out on the IBM. Haven't played it or really
- looked at it, so I don't know much about it. I think it is text/graphics.

- Spellcasting 301: Spring Break

- Only played 101. It is text/graphics. It is also really, really well done.
- It's put out by Legend, whose chief programmer (at least for this project) is
- (ta-da!) Steve Meretzky. So you know it's gotta be good. Legend has a 1-900
- line set up for hints, or at least they used to. It's a hard game--not on the
- level of Spellbreaker, but it's tough.
