UPDATE: Euro/Web-Grognards, 31.12.95 From: Alan Poulter <alan@poulter.demon.co.uk> Date: Sun, 31 Dec 1995 00:00:00 +0000 Happy New Year! Apologies for the enormous list of new files that follows. I have used the Christmas break to completely clear the backlog. Hopefully, I can now do smallish weekly updates from now on. I have also added a warning concerning the Mac .sit files, which appear to be damaged. I am currently trying to obtain fresh copies, which will give me something to do now the backlog is cleared :) Finally there are also lots of extra links to specific resources on other sites, found by Eric Pass. Many thanks to Eric! The Challenge: The game was Simcan's Warring States. I choose it because people found the last Simcan game tough and this was an obscure topic. Randy Moorehead got it quickly (the dull map graphics giving it away) and so did a couple more people. Randy now has won the Challenge five times! A new Challenge awaits!
