Ultimate Brain games Now don't get put off yet, not only
does this cart include versions of Chess, Backgammon and Checkers, it does them in style
too. I have only seen the chess part of the game and can tell you it surprised me! The
programmers have come up with a beautiful 3D chess game with thousands of colours and
wonderfully detailed chess pieces. Not only that but the game will have plenty of
functional sound FX and even a multi-level chess game to tax your brain that little bit
more. Also, the two player option makes this one a bit more interesting than its title.
Look for this in March 95.

JEO: What became of Ultimate Brain Games and World Class
Cricket?
TLG: Development was suspended when it became obvious that Atari was going to exit the
market. The next question would be if they could be completed now. The answer to that
question is the same that must be given regarding all future releases: it must be
financially feasible for us to bring additional products to market. The sales results of
the six announced products will determine if additional products are brought forth.
