I'm in the process of developing a 'Multimedia Game', which will be
distributed on CD-Rom.  I'm sure you've noticed that there is at 
least one such game out now, "Sherlock Holmes", and there is another
due out by "Halloween" called "Visitor" or "Ghost" or something like
that.

I've gotten to thinking:  How many 'gung-ho' game players own
a CD-ROM, or plan to buy one in the next 6 months or so?  And
while we're at it, what's the 'typical' computer owned by a
'gung-ho' gamer?

Does anybody out there have L.S.L (II), (III) and want to get rid of
them?

I've played with (I) and it was fun.

I'm willing to pay for the postage, maybe few bucks for the handling.

e-mail to: er...@sdphu1.ucsd.edu.  Thanks.

Here at Game Bytes, we certainly have CD-ROM drives as we expect it to
be the distribution method of choice for software developers in the
near future.  Our systems, which are to be upgraded shortly, are 20MHz
386s.
