FASA Corp. plans to release four BattleTech-related games in 1986. In early spring we should see Cityfight, a game on urban combat; and Aerospace Fighters, a game of near-earth orbit space combat. Later, perhaps at Origins, they will release Battle Force, large scale ground combats, and an untitled as yet strategic game on an interstellar scale. Howard Barasch of Softgame Services Inc. reports that they are the exclusive hobby distributors for Electronic Arts, makers of M.U.L.E., Seven Cities of Gold, Archon and Archon II, Skyfox, etc. The 83rd annual American International Toy Fair will be held in New York City February 10-19 at the Sheraton Centre Hotel and the New York Marriot Marquis. 445 booths at the Sheraton and 117 at the Marriot have been sold out since August 1, 1985, and a waiting list has begun. For more information, contact Toy Manufacturers Association, 200 Fifth Ave., New York City, NY, 10010 (212) 675-1141. Congratulations to Marcia Rozanel of West End Games Inc who was recently promoted to sales manager.
