Notable Stuff:

  • The reference to Psalm 9:1-2 appears on the masthead again.
  • Science Toolkit - Master Module costs $89.95, but part of that expense is due to the hardware it ships with: a pair of sensory probes.
  • On the other hand, American Dream sets you back the equivalent of nearly $250 in today's dollars, making it one of the most expensive computer games ever made.
  • The licensed Back to the Future game never arrives on US shores, despite being a monster hit film here. Strange...
