**** RECENT NEWS ****

Unfortunately, our deal with QVC has fallen through: we did have our contact
pitch the idea to her higher-ups, but it didn't go as well as we had anticipated.
We are currently double-checking our agreement with the Association of
Independent Bookstores. Even if that also falls through, rest assured that you
*will* be able to purchase TextFire games through our web site,
http://www.textfire.com, starting on June 30th or, failing that, as soon as we can
secure the domain name and find an affordable place to put our pages. 

We are pleased to announce our purchase of a CD burner. We will be offering
the following packages (subject to change): 

TextFire HumorPack (available June 30):
* Bad Guys
* Hockey Challenge (we were unable to secure the rights to the 
"Olympic" label, but the game will not be otherwise changed)
* Insomnia
* Revenge of the Killer Surf Nazi Robot Babes From Hell 
* Will the Real Marjorie Hopkirk Please Stand Up? 

TextFire SimulationPack (available July 31):
* Operate
* Pumping
* The Inanimator
* Verb

Also coming soon:
