Well, I have not heard about any games on this newsgroup for awhile, so 
here are some new ones that I have seen that are really good.

    1.  North and South:  this one got a higher score than Dungeon Master in
        the british magazine ST Action.  This is significant, those guys are
        very discriminating with their games.  A semi-strategy graphics 
        masterpiece, good sound and humorous.  Based on the Civil War.

    2.  Blasteroids:  Arcade conversion, very good.  Kind of like "Super 
        asteroids meets the transformers."  Pure shoot'em up, perfect for
        someone who has no time for adventures.

    3.  Full Metal Planet:  Strategy type wargame, very good graphics, 
        extremely good sound.  Futuristic robot ships fighting each other,
        up to 4 players either computer or human.  Really unique, really fun.

Disclaimer:  I have no connection to the authors of the above works, nor do 
I or anybody I know own a computer store.  These are just great games that 
deserve to be bought.
