ANOTHER EXCITING

YEAR AT THE TOWERS

Well that's it, another Christmas

and New Year over and done with.

It's time to get down to the busi-

ness once again. As expected

there was one hell of a last minute

rush of games into the Towers in

the run up to Christmas, Even so

at one stage it appeared there

would only be two Accolades in

this issue - Gauntlet and Sfar

Glider. However, at the eleventh

hour another three cracking

games amved in the shape of

Antinad. Into the Eagles Nest, and

Mercenary. As you read this we

shall be packing our bags and

travelling south to the big smoke

to man a stand at the Amstrad

Show, once again being held at the

Novotel in Hammersmith from the

9th to 11 th January inclusive. We'll

see you there!

A PLEA TO AMSTRAD

Dear Alan Sugar,

At the beginning of November we

rang one of your minions to order

some lovely Printer ribbons for our

DMP 2000 which is feeling very

pale at the moment. We would be

happy if you could get your act

together, kick a minion into action

and produce them pronto.

SOME FATHERLY ADVICE

I would like toI

•suggest

readers send any form of payment

to a company called Micro Mail

which is rumoured to be

experiencing financial difficulties.

They also trade under the name of

Celcom. Don't say you have not

been warned!

TRIVIA GAUHtE

Genius

GAMES REVIEWED

AMTIX! reader, Julian Hearn,

recently travelled to London to

compete in the national final of

Domark's Trivial Pursuit competi-

tion. He failed to carry off the

E 10,000 solid gold Trivial Pursuit

set but he had an enjoyable day as

indeed did everyone else who

intended, including myself. A big

thanks to Domark and congratu-

lations to them for selling over

170,000 units of the computer

game.
