I'm pleased to announce the relationship between Game Bytes and Epic MegaGames for distribution on Compuserve. Game Bytes can now be found in the Epic Forum (GO EPIC) for full distribution with no changes or omissions.
Once you have joined the EPIC forum, just jump to the file libraries and you'll see the Game Bytes library section where all issues are archived and new issues are uploaded. We will also be present very often for answering questions, taking your recommendations, and we intend to conduct live conferences and interviews with various game publishers and developers in the forum as well.
Epic has taken great strides to make this forum as useful and functional for gamers as possible and we encourage all who read Game Bytes to get on one of the finest on-line services in the world and come check it out. "Games Of The Month" will be offered regularly and other features will be added. You'll find some of the finest shareware games in the world in Epic - games that rival even full commercial software. Plus, it's a great way to check out a game before you spend the bucks.
In the very near future, Game Bytes will be offered to readers through Compuserve's flat-rate structure. For just $3.00 an issue, you can comfortably download each issue to your machine without the worries of connect time charges. The small $3.00 fee will automatically be billed to your Compuserve account. This is a great way to get Game Bytes with no hassles. Plus check out all of the other great files that are in EPIC.
