 Dear Big Blue Disk Subscriber,

    We hope you will enjoy CATACOMB, the exciting action game included on this
 month's issue of Big Blue Disk.  I am sure you will find CATACOMB superior to
 many of the games we have offered on Big Blue Disk in the past.  It is just a
 taste of our brand new, bimonthly game disk designed for IBM PC's and
 compatibles - PC Arcade!

 NEW COMMERCIAL QUALITY GAMES AT A FRACTION OF RETAIL

    Many of you have asked us to create a disk subscription that satisfies your
 craving for PC entertainment.  Now you can get it with your very own
 subscription to PC Arcade.

    PC Arcade is two 5 1/4" disks (or one 3 1/2" or 5 1/4" 1.2 meg HD disk)
 packed with new, spectacular, electrifying games delivered to your door every
 two months.  A three issue trial subscription is only $49.95.

    Each issue contains two or more complete, graphics intensive gems that you
 would normally pay $20, $30 or more for in your favorite software store. The
 color graphics and game play are so good they put those other "home
 entertainment systems" to shame.  You just won't believe you can get games
 this good for less than $9 each.

 EASY-TO-USE, ANIMATED INTERFACE ADDS TO THE FUN!

    With Big Blue Disk, you have come to expect that finding and running the
 right program should be simple.  With PC Arcade we go one better - we make it
 fun.

    Every issue includes our unique PC Arcade interface that allows you to
 easily select the game of your choice.  The introduction screen is filled with
 animated scenes that change as you select from various menu items.  You'll get
 a kick out of seeing your favorite game characters scurry about as you make
 your selection.  All game instructions and helps are included on your disks,
 and are easy to access at any point in the game.

 YOUR SUBSCRIPTION KEEPS THE EXCITEMENT COMING WITH EACH NEW ISSUE!

    When you buy a new PC game at your local software store, you spend $20, $30
 or more and rush home.  The excitement builds as you open the package, insert
 the disks and begin to play.  But after two or three weeks, the honeymoon is
 over and the game has lost it's sparkle.  The thrill is gone.

    With PC Arcade, you pay much less (less than $9 a game).  Just when you
 begin to master the games on your current issue, the next issue arrives with a
 whole new battery of adventures to entertain and amuse you.  The fun never
 ends!
