These stores don't have the shelf space to carry wide numbers of titles, they will only sell the "hit" What do these hardware problems have to do items. Companies that have historically opted for with game software? The answer is simple. Some- many new games per year, such as SSI, will be forced to cut back on new titles and concentrate their resources on pushing just a few potential hits. Smaller companies, such as SSG, will not have ac- cess to the mass market retailers and will be forced to distribute their games through companies, such as Electronic Arts, that already have a relationship with the large retailers. Again, this means fewer overall new games will be introduced this year. If any hard evidence is needed to support these theories then Infocom will serve. Infocom had been one of the most successful game companies in ex- istence. Their text adventures set the standard. However, declining sales in the game market forced Infocom to attempt a move into the business soft- ware market. The attempt did not succeed. Infocom laid off half of their 100 employees and in late February announced that they were being acquired by Activision. On to happier news! Strategic Simulations (SSI) remains committed to the game market. They have a couple of firsts to report. The first ST products, Phantasie and Computer Baseball, will ship soon. Also, their first Mac titles, Gemstone Warrior and Computer Baseball, will debut very shortly. The next two new titles will likely be Gettysburg and War In The South Pacific (WISP). Gettysburg will use the Antietam system, with modifications. Artillery will be less powerful with consequently lower, and more realistic, casualties.
