back with a vengeance
to star in his very own
computer game, Scooby
Doo in the Castle
Mystery,
Elite describes the
game as "the first every

features those daredevil

evil Mrs Malt-loch and
that creepy coward,
Shaggy. There's also a
special guest appearance
by Sam Shark of Jaws
fame.
Elite reckons they've

Someone's taking the
mickey! A new
adventure game from
Silversoft called Robin
of Sherlock is due for
release in November —
and it's not all it appears
to be, funnily enough.
It's a multi-quest parody
that falls somewhere
between Melbourne
House's and Adventure
International's — and
aims to have you fallirw
about with laughter.
If you want to find
out what's next on
Silversoft's spoof list
