Welcome!
------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to the new newsletter of The Games Archive! We have
got a lot of new members. Thanks to all of them who have
signed up.

We have added a new section to the newsletter, called
'Game tip'. There you will find each release of this
newsletter a review about a game which you can download
from our site.

The section 'Wanted!' is also new. In this section you will
find postings from our message board. Most people are
looking for a game that isn't in our archive. Maybe other
visitors (or readers of this newsletter) own the game.
Then they could contact the person who has written the
message.
