The FDGames (board games) won't be relevant here unless someone releases electronic versions - but I'm still working on the Alice series, there are (as usual) half-a-dozen new games in the pipeline (of which one might emerge) and (minor) updates to most of the current games.
Long term I'm hoping to re-release games from the old Acorn User, ArcWorld, Acorn Computing collections as well as release tutorials from the old magazines. Ideas and help to prepare any of that is always welcome.
There won't be anything this calendar year.

They are both on the list - both (so far) without: 1. Someone to enthuse about playing the games; 2. Someone to give background about developing, publishing, or selling them.
Anyone interested - please get in touch.

This is the problem, there are so few people around from those days still with us. I didn't have an Arc at the time of either and have only recently tried UIM!
How about an article then on innovative 3D games that have originated on Acorn machines?
Look how many there have been:
Elite, Zarch , UIM, ArcElite, Karma and Starfighter 3000.
There's probably plenty of information out there (excepting UIM unfortunately) to put together an article although interviewing the authors might be difficult. How does this sound? Anyone interested?

I'd certainly be interested in publishing a couple of articles covering that group of games. Do get in touch if you can help.
