Here we go again...

	Although I have many "real" concerns in my life (ie: World peace,
	Nuclear diarmement, Governmental sanity) I find myself from time
	to time getting really tense about something trivial.

	  In Junes' Antic (page 79) there is an add. for a new book..

	$14.95... "THE ART OF COMPUTER GAME DESIGN: 
			REFLECTION OF A MASTER GAME DESIGNER"

				written by
				none other than... CHRIS CRAWFORD
							(ex Atari programmer).

		" ... Chris Crawford, Atari programmer PAR EXCELLENCE, 
		      teaches this and other noteworthy lessons... "


	   peee-ewww.

		I have never met this man.. (ie.. I hold him no grudge)
		I have seen him on " Bits Bytes and Buzzwords" (2 weeks ago)
		He has been billed as THE Atari game Wizard
		  (some say he isn't even a wizard.. let alone the ONLY one.)

		WHY ???

			  

		It should be noted that by all indications Atari itself
	    responsible for this (grossly incorrect) billing. Mr Crawford
	    has just helped it along.
	
	
	       nothing else to say..


				jfs.
