CONSOLE RELEASES
Revision 1.0 (March 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.

the last few weeks and should be widely available.

SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE :- These are titles you will probably see in two

because most likely other titles will be announced, and some titles may
change. A list such as this could cover hundreds of games in production,
though only the main (promosing) ones and titles that *appear* the
closest to release will be listed here.

RELEASE PREDICTIONS :- Now some may see this section is a little
pre-emptive, citing games that may or may not be coming out at all, but
this can give you a good idea of what you *may* hear as 'news' in months
time. Also listed are opinions on which console(s) the game is likely to
come out on, if it in fact does.
- These are only pure speculation, so take them as they are.
