│ WIZARD GAMES Shareware Releases - Summer 1990 │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
WIZARD is a programming collective based in Scotland, with a range of games all
available only for the IBM PC (and compatibles) via mail order. WIZARD believes
that current PC games are overpriced and overpackaged (not to mention lacking in
imagination). We are creating a series of unique and innovative games, designed
to take full advantage of the size and power of IBM PCs and compatibles, and we
are marketing these primarily via the 'try before you buy' shareware method.
If you like any of our shareware releases, then please support us by registering
for the game concerned. Registration costs £12 (US$20) per game, and entitles
you to the latest full enhanced registered version of the game concerned, with
LOAD and SAVE game facilities and other additional features. Registration also
puts you on our mailing list for information on Wizard releases - and there are
several of these a year!
System requirements for WIZARD releases are IBM PC/close compatible, with 512k
RAM and CGA/CGA compatible graphics card. We have many reports of our games
being run successfully on a wierd and wonderful variety of machines, eg Apple
Macs, Hercules graphics machines, etc using appropriate DOS/CGA emulation
hardware/software.
What they say about Wizard Games:
'thanks for the work you are doing in the underdeveloped - yet overpriced -
PC games world' - P Walker,Bradford
'these are just the type of games I have been waiting for. Keep up the good
work' - C Meeks,London

│ GRAND PRIX (c) 1989 Hole In The Wall │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Manage your own Formula 1 racing team! You are in charge of finances, hiring and
firing of drivers, design staff, and mechanics. You must select and purchase
cars, engines, and other items necessary for a succesful season. You start out
with limited money with which to build up your teams, and must obtain
sponsorship, and negotiate loans.
Once you have a completed team, it's time to start racing! There are 16 races in
each Grand Prix international season, and you must try to qualify for each. With
a skillful driver you may win a race. With a good chief mechanic you could win
more. If you have an experienced chief designer your car may last the whole
season. And if you manage to put all the parts together, the constructors and
drivers championships await you!

managment available. Its features include:
- run the season with one, or two (if finances allow) drivers.
