Macintosh Games release listing - Updates

Here's this weeks list


Keep in mind that if you're in the industry or "in-the-know" about certain
upcoming releases, YOU can contribute GREATLY to this listing.  Please 
Email me at scottb@netcom.netcom.com if you have additional information that
you see may be useful to this list.  I'm basically looking for HARD FACTs or 
GOOD rumor. (Corrections also apprieciated) 

Most of the listings here have had some sort of print to some degree. 
(i.e. Magazine, Software release listing, Sneak previews, etc.)

		!Take the release dates with a grain of salt! 

I've been tracking games for some time. If there's one thing to be learned 
in tracking software releases, that would be that they almost always slip...
sometimes for YEARS (literally)

This list may be freely distributed as long as the original formatting is
and text is kept.  If you derive information from this list to your own 
listing, I'd  apprieciate it if you'd include my E-mail address block so 
that I may be able to recieve any info that your readers may have to add. 
I've seen a few so-called "listings" in Electronic Newsletters which 
DEFINITLY used my list as a source without any credit to its original origin.

Whatever...

Many thanks to those who have contributed, and continue to do so...
