Hello everybody.

I'm looking for all games by Network 23, as I've got none in my
collection.
In particular, I'm looking for Warlocks, the full game (the demo is
available on the Net).

I'm ready to buy them if the price is fair.

Thank you.

Oh man, the amount of time I spent playing the demo was obscene. You
could try ebay, old Acorn games bundles sometimes pop up on there at a
very decent price (I got a talkie Simon The Sorcerer for a couple of
quid).

I never did successfully figure out how to stop the timer. Oh well.


Cheers,
Rob

Hello.
I've been buying Acorn items on Ebay for about 2 years now and I've
never found these games.
Same thing for Eterna games.
So far I've been able to get Tactic, and none of the others.

Warlocks is listed on Uffenkamp Computer System website as available
to buy at 19.90 Euros, but I don't know if this website is still
active or whether the company still exist , or if it's just there !

Maybe someone can shed some light on that, they did exist a few years
ago as I bought loads of the old Eterna games from them, they still
seem to be listed on the website, and they shipped from Germany to the
UK too.

I know of only 2 Network 23 games, Warlocks and Deadline.

cheers
Matthew

I think I did manage to stop the timer so you could play all the way
through the demo :)

It certainly looks like the website is still being updated. Presumably
they'd have removed the Acorn games if the no longer had them in stock.

Cheers,

Warlocks - I have this, and think I actually have two sets of the
discs. I will look, and if so, I might part with one.....
