- I am attempting to contact MiscoProse and press them about porting
- some of their games to the NeXT. I don't know what their position on
- this will be but If you would like to put in your $0.02 worth I would
- like to collect a list of comments and encouragemet to send them.
- If you are not familiar with MicroProses Games they prodouce the
- following games for the PC:
-
- Civilization
- Gunship 2000 ( Helocopter )
- M1 Abrams
- F-117 Stealth Fighter
- Knights of the Sky ( WW 1 dogfights )
- Jump Jet
- Red Storm Rising ( Sub combat Simulator )
- and others
-
- What I would like to get is letters encouraging them to make the port,
- info on what you would be willing to pay for a game thet really takes
- advantage of what the NeXT can do ( I figure I'd pay about $100 for an
- insanley great game that really uses the NeXT's capabilities on CDRom
- and up to $70 for just a well done port. Head to head SLIP options
- would be good for another $20 bucks ). Anything else you care to send
- will be apreciated.
-
- Please pass this along to any and evert NeXT owner and Poyential NeXT
- owner you know. If you want to bring it up at a users group meeting
- that would be great too!!.
-
- Please send youy letters to:
-
- zeke@znext.cts.com
-
- Please put the word Games in the subject so I can sort things a bit easier.
-
- This address is a NeXT, so NeXT Mail is quite alright.
-
- Thanks everyone,
- Zeke
