Revision 2.0 (April 1994)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
THESE are at the best of times only approximate, so please don't rely
|
||
|
|
too heavily on this information as things usually do change before a
|
||
|
|
game is released. If you know of a game which isn't mentioned, let me
|
||
|
|
know.
|
||
|
|
Releases are based on US release, you may have to wait a few weeks in
|
||
|
|
other countries such as the UK/Europe and Australia. This list is
|
||
|
|
included separately (not as part of the main text) because it is likely
|
||
|
|
to grow much larger in the future. I'd prefer that it was kept in this
|
||
|
|
archive and not posted or distributed separately without permission.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE :- These are titles you will probably see in two
|
||
|
|
to six months time. This list is in a way *intentionally* not complete
|
||
|
|
because most likely other titles will be announced, and some titles may
|
||
|
|
change. A list such as this could cover many hundreds of games in
|
||
|
|
production, though only the main (promising) ones and titles that
|
||
|
|
*appear* to be the closest to release will be listed here.

RELEASE PREDICTIONS :- I have decided rather than to repeat predictions,
|
||
|
|
each issue will be a new list, or only revised predictions. Check back
|
||
|
|
through previous issues for older predictions.
|
||
|
|
The important thing to remember is that they are only personal
|
||
|
|
*predictions* or games that I would like to see and nothing else.
|
||
|
|
Somebody asked how I chose which system they appeared on - well the
|
||
|
|
answer is that I checked which developers are signed up for what
|
||
|
|
consoles and if they were, added them to the system likely to appear on.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* These are only pure speculation, so take them as they are.
