I have been asked by the German Game magazine - PC Action to include some of my games with their Magazine.

The games requested are: Run-A-War, Barbar, Pirates and Time Pilot

If any of our German members happen to see my games on the Magazine CD please would they buy me a copy of the magazine and send it to me.

I already had some of my games on the PC Action cover disk several times, and was asked again this week (they wanted to include Napalm Bomber 3D, Bean Machine and also JagdGeschwader). But the problem is that they don't (or maybe can't) tell you on which issue your games are included, so you'd have to watch through all issues of PC Action for the next few months.

I've forwarded them the permission documents they requested but I have had no confirmation.

I also asked to be informed when my games were put on the CD.

When they first asked me (last year or so) I also asked what issue they'd include my game on, but they couldn't (wouldn't?) tell me back then, but maybe that has changed.

So if you get an answer and they let you know on what issue your games will be on, I'll buy one and send it to you.

Thanks - that would be great.

I'll add it to my collection of 'successes' - photos of my games etc.

This is awesome news! I wonder how big this magazine is. And will they plug PGD as a result? :D No modivation there huh? ;)

But seriously though, how many other Pascal related games or developers have they featured in their mags?

The PC-Action magazine (which is btw. owned by Computec media) is one of the biggest german PC-gaming magazines out there and sells around 100,000 issues per month (at least that were the numbers from march last year).

I have been told that PC Action will mail me a copy of each magazine that carries one of my games.
