No one has achieved so
much and no one is able to
command such outstanding
software, Now a mature
market is in residence, we
decided that the time was
right to make a bold
statement about how
significant and impressive
computer software is. we
therefore collected
together these classics -
collected from only our
first three years - and are
to publish them in one
historic pack. Many of
today's enthusiasts may
have been too young to
have played the originals -
it's obviously a real treat
for them and many of the
older players will treasure
the value that such a
collection offers. In short,
the collection will appeal to
everyone - it's not just a
compilation of games but a
true chronicle of the
development of this
fantastic industry of ours."

Besides its possession as
a collection piece the
package is considered by
many to offer unheard of
value for money and an
opportunity not to be
missed. Many computer
enthusiasts await eagerly
the mid-September release
and comments such as
"I've started saving
now...", "I wasn't into
computers when the early
releaseg
- looking forward to playing
c a m
e
o u
t ,
them now...", "I've only
heard of such games as
Beach Head, now's my
chance to see what I've
missed..." are common
amongst the players that
we've talked to.
"But the real winners are
the buying public - it's
fantastic value."
Perhaps one of the most
informative comments was
made by an industry
insider: "US Gold seem to
have done it again. Whilst
we're all happily
constructing compilations
from any product we can
find and offering them to
the public as value-formoney
packs, US Gold
have put together the finest
collection of classic games
ever assembled and the
support material and giveaways
will be just as
good and up to their usual
amazing standard. Quite
simply, I think we're all
stunned once again, but the
real winners are the buying
public - it's fantastic
value."
Where will US Gold go
from here - well no one
knows, all we can really say
is that if they keep going
on making history like this
then they can only keep
going on from success to
success and all computer
owners will be pleased for
that to continue.
