+davidcalgary29 Posted October 29, 2003 Author Share Posted October 29, 2003 Crush, Crumble, & Chomp? Ah, yes. Before "Grand Theft Auto", and before "Rampage", there was "Crush, Crumble & Chomp!" I remember seeing this one on tape for the 8-bits for a prohibitive price in '84. I was going to ask you for your address, but realized that I already have it. Congratulations!

+davidcalgary29 Posted October 29, 2003 Author Share Posted October 29, 2003 I think you'll find it is Rampage. That quote was lifted from the Jan. 1983 issue of "Compute!". The review actually stated that players could choose from "one of six monsters", but THAT would've taken the fun out of everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Yeah, and Rampage looks to be a different kind of monster game j/k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukey Shay Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Package received Hey, first time for everything Informative interview with Ian Chadwick Especially interesting to hear about the crash-era days of publishing. And the JagFest coverage was an interesting perspective. Though overall, the combining the group newsletters could use a bit more polish than simply including everything in it's entirety And the list of groups only list those that are in the US (with the exception of GCACE)...you might want to consider including groups that exist worldwide.

+davidcalgary29 Posted November 16, 2003 Author Share Posted November 16, 2003 Thanks for the input! I have to admit that I (rather meanly) placed the items in a plain (non-padded) envelope, as I wanted to see how those items would survive the rough handling of Canada Post's international mail delivery system. Would you prefer to see the individual group newsletters just scanned into the larger superstructure of "eight sixteen thirty-two"? I agree that photocopying individual newsletters makes the entire project look quite messy, but all of them are compiled on different and incompatible platforms, and I can't collate them all in a Dtp program.
