February, 1995
I spent quite a lot of time in February pottering about with the layout
of the Game Cabinet (introducing, for instance, these back issues) and
cruising the Web looking for other interesting pages. The
wargame,
trading card game, and
traditional game pages were
added because of popular demand. The
Doris & Frank and
White Wind ads were subjected to my first
experiments with images.
