Nexus #4

Jardine crawled out of his lifeboat, his head still reeling from the impact of the landing. "Guess I better check out this vacation paradise," he said aloud. It is the start of 1983 and Nexus #4 has just been released. It focuses on the "The Savage Jungle" which combines Ultra Warrior and Survival to create a new solitaire game. Of course there is the Star Fleet Universe section. This issue has SSDs of Q-ships and provides a scenario to fly them in. Richard Kerr also lets people know how how to assemble their Kzinti ships. There is an article with modifications for Starfire and a piece of fiction set in that universe. You’ll find reviews of Berserker, "recent" American Civil War games, Norway 1940, Soldier King, Cradle of Civilization, Traitor, and Axis and Allies. There is also a look at the "new" Hayden Software line of games for the Apple II+. Fitting in with the opening article, the closing article focuses on solitaire gaming.
