"After seeing the finished game myself, I felt that the only responsible action was to seek legal advice." said Clement Chambers, CRL's MD. Also new from CRL is Murder Off Miami, a solve-it-yourself mystery based on the Dennis Wheatley novel of the same name. Set in the 1930s, you play Detective Kettering called in to investigate an alleged suicide. The death occurred in a boat off the coast of Miami and you have to decide 'did he fall or was he pushed?'. It's available now priced E7.95. OXFORD PASCAL Touchline CRL: 9 Kings Yard, Carpenters Road, London E15 2HD. Tel: 01 533 2918. Not So Trivial Domark, having achieved great success with the computer game of Trivial Pursuit, has now announced the release of a Young Players Edition. All the original features have been retained, the range and variety of questions, the character T.P_ the original graphics and the no-keyboard play. On cassette for the CM, the new edition is £14.95. On disk it costs £19.95. Also imminent is the launch of a new Domark label, Streetwise. Mark Strachan of Domark said: "We feel that the Domark name is associated with high profile licenced games such as A View to a Kill and Trivial Pursuit, This will continue to be so, and the Streetwise label will be reserved for arcade style titles. The first two Streetwise titles are Orbix the Terrorball and Kin-trap. Touchline Domark: 204, Worple Road, Wimbledon. London SW20 SPN. Tel: 01 947 5622. tg_-v •
