I thought I would post this from Arcade Express (September 26, 1982) while it's fresh in my mind:

It sucks that they didn't get to finish some of those games.
(For anybody who looks at the rest of that page, I'm only filling the index with items I think I might need to link to from my history pages. I can go back later and add more to the indexes after I'm done converting the rest of the newsletters and other things.)

The folks at this Texas-based company are keeping themselves busy. Games By Apollo will release six new game titles in September. "Kyphus" casts the gamer as a powerful sorcerer exploring a pyramid. "Guardian" is a space game, and "Final Approach" involves air traffic control. "Squoosh" has a busy man stomping grapes into juice. "Pompeii" dares you to treasure hunt in that ancient city. "Wabbit" requires an egg-throwing farmer's daughter to defend a carrot patch. This game, designed by a lady programmer from Vietnam, is described by GBA President Pat Roper as introducing "a new day in graphics for the VCS". Games By Apollo will spend $7 Million on T.V. ads between now and the end of January '83 to promote their line.
This fast-growing company entered the field with its first cartridge for the Atari VCS in late 1981. A new plant providing 75,000 square feet of space is now under construction. They'll need it. GBA expects to introduce 18 games at the January Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas: 4 for Intellivision, 6 for the Atari VCS, 2 for the VIC-20, 2 for TI-99/4A, and 4 games to be released for the Atari 400, Atari 800, and Atari 5200. Pat Roper forecasts that Games By Apollo will be the country's #1 software company before the end of 1983.
