Jan 2, 1992

Dear GIF News Readers,

The following information was taken from Claude Rains' Release #18

file. We congratulate him and appreciate the work that goes into these

lists. We hope you find it as informative as we have. I, myself, do not

know Claude Rains so please do not direct questions about this list to me.

This should give you a good idea of what games will be coming out in '92.

Happy New Year!

- Editor-in-Chief

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

RELEASES - #18

Hi all. Claude here. This edition of RELEASES actually snuck up

on me too! I wasn't really planning on putting this out until after

the new year and the Jan. CES show, but such is life. I got a LOT

of new information, got it quick, and thought, "what the heck - let's

just waste a weekend and put this out for out beloved readers!!" You

know I just live for this ... NOT.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Claude's next version of RELEASES and from that time onward

will be written in Word for Windows 2.0. I'm sick of using editors, so if

you're not into Windows, get into it, or get it from someone else, or

whatever. This will be written in W4W2.0 formatted for an HPLJ 3. Same

goes for Capsules.

Lots 'o new stuff coming out next year, and that's not all, I'm sure. Take

Anyway, take care all.

* FREE ADVERTISING * FREE ADVERTISING * FREE ADVERTISING * FREE ADVERTISING *

Policy updated for January 1992, subject to change without notice.

Advertising in SIMPLE and EASY in GIF News, and very very affordable.

Basically a small ad, roughly under 1/5 the size of a full page, will be

free of charge. Often times these are ads for Bulletin Board Systems.

GIF News is read by thousands of readers throughout the world. Besides

the standard way of distribution through Bulletin Board Systems, GIF News

travels by means of worldwide Network of Internet which encompasses many

countries such as Japan, Australia, Norway, Finland, Canada, USA, France,

Great Britain, Singapore, New Zealand, Mexico, and more. GIF News can also

be found on the Compuserve Game Magazines download section.

Here are some guidelines to follow for advertising in GIF News:

1. If short and small, the ad is free of charge. I may add

some simple graphics to make the ad a little more interesting.

2. If advertising a BBS:

a. Send me a normal-access user acount pre-registered. In

other words, add an Eric Hsiao to your user roster and

pick a password and send it to me (along with your ad).

b. Sysops must let me know before each and every issue comes

out that they want their ad in it. This will help me keep

track of which boards are still up and which ones have gone

down. This will save our readers from the trouble of dialing

long distance to a board and getting a "Sorry, the number you

have dialed has been disconnected..." I am unable to accept

requests that say "Please put my BBS ad for the next 10

issues." If you want your BBS ad in the next 10 issues, you

much notify me before the deadline of each of the 10 issues

that you want the ad in.

3. If contributing money for an ad:

a. A full page with customized drawn graphics by me will general-

ly run around $75 - add $25 for each additional issue that you

want the ad in.

b. Pre-supplied/drawn graphics full page size will generally

be around $50 - add $25 for each additional issue that you

want the ad in.

c. Half a page of custom graphics will run around $30 - add $10

for each additional issue that you want the ad in.

d. Pre-supplied/drawn graphics half size will be around $15 -

add $10 for each additional issue that you want the ad in.

e. Please keep in mind that these are only general numbers, I am

very flexible and will negotiate. Also, unlike the FREE BBS

ad policy, you can request that your ad be in for a certain

number of issues (ex. "Please put my full page ad in the

January issue for a contribution of $50, plus I would like

to see it in the March/April and May/June issues for an

additional contribution of $50 (2 x $25). See above for

contribution guidelines.

f. Contributions not need be in the form of monetary units

(money). Instead, products of interest to me such as a

PostScript Laser Printer, v32Bis Modem, etc. would really

be appreciated.

4. Any legitimate commercial/non-profit/organization/group can

advertise in GIF News. GIF News retains the right to refuse

any advertisement due to content, space considerations, or

other reasons. We try to screen all advertisers for legitimacy.

Complaints against advertisers should be directed toward the

advertiser or the Better Business Bureau, not GIF News.

.MOD files at your service

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you're a SoundBlaster owner like me (or SB Pro), you probably

heard of the TrakBlaster program that plays Amiga NoiseTracker

sound files (.MOD files). NoiseTracker is a format that stores

samples of real or electronic instruments and the play back program

uses wave manipulation to play them back at different frequencies to

achieve different notes on the scale. As a result, you get

song files that are very realistic sounding, and are much better than

.ROL or .CMF files. Everything is taken care of by the SoundBlaster

DAC. Several programs out there exist for the PC to playback these

.MOD files. ModPlay 2.0 is one of them and will even play them back

through your internal speaker. It also includes plans to build your

very own stereo DAC that you could plug into your parallel printer port.

For EGA users, there is JMPLAY, and for VGA users, there's the ever

popular TrakBlaster 2.0 program. If you're a SoundBlaster Pro owner,

TetraComposer, available through Creative Labs, will also let you play

these files back. Although there are literally thousands of .MOD files

out there, you may be having difficulty finding some on your local

Bulletin Board Systems. And you wish you had more, but don't want to

spend the lengthy time to download them from long distance boards. Well,

I have a solution to those people who want more, but can't find more.

I have amassed about 10 megs of .MOD files, and would like to share them

with you.

Instructions and Order Form.

Alter-Image Complete Scanning Services offers the highest quality scans

currently available to the public for the lowest possible prices. Scanning

resolution of up to 800 Dpi with up to 16.7 MILLION individual colors is

possible, resulting in near photographic quality images. Images can be

created from any photograph or item (8"x11"x1" max.). To order, send a

completed copy of this order form (which can be printed), your photograph

or item, and a check or money order, made out to "Alter-Image" for the

appropriate amount. Pricing is as follows: $5.00 per scanned image (using

standard options) + $2.00 shipping and handling (up to two disks). The

additional options (custom Dpi scans, 16.7 million color) listed have prices

that are higher due to their larger file sizes and longer scan times. Call

for a price quote of these non-standard options before ordering, please.

Assume that each standard scan will have a file length of about 50K. If you

send multiple images, and their total disk usage is greater than 2 disks,

please add the specified additional shipping and handling charge.
