All site links are correct as of the 31 of May,' 99.
As Diceman missed the previous issue he's had an attack of the 'guilts', chained himself to the computer and hacked away until he's come up with a HUUUUGE article to make up for his recalcitrance. But he didn't stop there no sir, he's also cleaned the coffee and pizza stains off, updated and reproduced his for mer piece on all those websites that we net-head gamers love to haunt. So for your delectation and perusal here is
SILICON CITY
(The Electric Boogaloo - again)
I thought I would reprint the review I completed in a previous issue to give those of you that are new to the magazine a chance to catch up on the net and it's 'wargamers heaven' routine. As stated previously (by a couple of yellow robed monks at the foothills of Mt. Shsshypangulia and myself) - 'the world is an amazing place'! Made more so by the fact that all manner of wargames figures can be bought via the net without leaving the painting table (except for that bloody tedious requirement to go to work for a few hours each day). For those 'On-Line' (and by golly - the Government knows that you're all up to no good looking at those free rudey-nudey sites and they want in!!!) chase up my links - you may be in for a bloody great surprise.
THE CHIPS ARE DOWN
Come with me once again down the Silicon Valley of Death (and no - I don't mean Jamie Lee Curtis's bust line) to explore the wonderful World Wide Web.
