MIDNIGHT...down the hall the clock ticks. Outside, in the streets, traffic makes its frenzied way into the cold darkness of the night.

Inside, the dull light of the video monitor suddenly illuminates the room, a disk drive whirs, chokes, and whirs again. Pensive fingers stroke the computer keyboard, stop, raise, and prepare for action, mystery...and adventure.

Your personal computer enables you to step into fantastic adventures with ease, play baseball without joining a team, save the world from alien invaders, solve spine tingling murder mysteries. It won't tap any fingers impatiently waiting for you to make the next move, sneer when you're losing, or smirk when it wins. It will never refuse your offer of a draw, or have a temper tantrum. And, perhaps best of all, where else can you find such a worthy adversary at three o'clock in the morning when all sane people are either sleeping, working, or engaging in more traditional pursuits?

Whether you're already a devoted computer game buff, or just an interested beginner, THE SURVIVAL KIT FOR APPLE COMPUTER GAMES is designed to be your companion in adventure through two dozen of the most challenging and exciting home computer games available today:
