GIVE ME THAT ON-LINE RELIGION!
After subscribing for a couple of years now, I
still look forward to every issue! But one small
thing has been puzzling me. Why do you always list
"Psalm 9:1-2" above your Compuserve # and
telephone #?
Ray Forbes
Oak Park, IL
Ed.: Since this is the fourth time we've been
asked this in a month, you're not in a minority.
Psalm 9:1-2 is a scriptural reference to living one's
entire life in an attitude of thankfulness and
glorifying God in whatever one does! The reference
in the masthead serves to remind us and our readers
who agree with Judaeo-Christian tradition of what
our goal in life should be. Oh, by the way!, would
you believe we were told in a vision that we'd die if
we didn't get eight and one-half million subscribers
before 1988?
ACCESSING ARCHAIC ARCHIVES!
Is it possible to get a copy of the review of
Horse Racing Classic (CGW 2.4)? Are back issues
of CGW 2.4 still available?
Tony Maggio

For the back issues of CGW that are sold out -
you should consider Xeroxing articles that people
want on a flat price per page to the individual.
Gerry Sackett
Round Rock, TX
Ed.: It is possible to get a reprint of an article
from any sold out back issue of CGW by sending
$1.00 (per article) for postage and handling to the
post office box address. 2.4 is not available as a
back issue, but issues from volume three of CGW
are available on a limited basis for $5.00 each.
MACHINE SPECIFIC MADNESS!
In this last issue (no. 35) you seemed to focus on
too many one machine games. Micro-reviews was
all MAC. Two of the main reviews were only IBM.
Now I have nothing against either machine, I'd like
to own either, but can't you be a bit more generic?
Scott Smith
Sherman Oaks, CA
Ed.: The current editorial policy is to focus on as
much quality software as possible without attempting
to create an artificial and unattainable balance of
machine specific coverage. We were criticized for
doing such a long article on an Amiga specific title
(Defender of the Crown, #34), but it is now
available for five different machines. Balance of
Power was covered in CGW as a Mac only game
(#29), but it now has two other versions with more
on the way. Starflight is bound to be ported over to
other machines (which ones and when is a closely
held secret) and I would expect any successful
68000 software to be ported over to the other
machines. If you are patient enough, the entire
market will become generic, so don't throw away
those old issues of CGW or you may be throwing
away reviews that will eventually apply to your
machine.
