[SPAG] Announcements

[Guest]

I'm proud to announce that issue #41 of SPAG is available at last. It's
a fine issue, containing the following:

REVIEWS IN THIS ISSUE
-----------------------------------------------------

Bolivia By Night
Catseye
Conan Kill Everything
The Dreamhold
Faade
The Fire Tower
Heist
Moonglow
Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots
Wumpus 2000

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

Of course, the usual news, letters, and such are included as well. I'm
also a little sad to announce that this will be my final issue as editor
of SPAG. A number of circumstances have conspired to rob me of the time
and energy that I used to devote to IF, so it's time to hand over the
reins. However, I am very pleased indeed to announce that those reins
have been enthusiastically accepted by Jimmy Maher! Jimmy's done a lot
of good in the IF community in a relatively short time, and I look
forward to seeing the issues of SPAG he'll produce. Welcome, Jimmy.

As usual, subscribers have already been sent their copy, and #41 is also
available at the SPAG website, http://www.sparkynet.com/spag. In
addition, I've uploaded a copy to the IF Archive, where it should soon
find its home at:

ftp://ftp.ifarchive.org/if-archive/magazines/SPAG/SPAG41

Thank you for your contributions and support over the years, and as
always, thank you for helping to keep text adventures alive.

"Paul Lee" a.k.a. "Andrew Plotkin"

? As a game in general, "The Dreamhold" raises the bar high, not just
as a
? tutorial. It builds up the player's trust by never failing to live up
to
? its high standards, and the result is great. You become the game's
? friend and feel it encouraging you in your difficulties and
delighting
? with you in your triumphs. At any rate, for beginners and advanced
? players alike, I recommend anyone the awesome glow of satisfaction
that
? comes from "The Dreamhold."
