A great many years ago when working in game publishing I had a real fascination with doing titles in a strong, super-bold font called Bolt Bold. The truth is I rather overused it. In doing some research I find it on more than a dozen different game books I wrote in the early 80s, all quite collectable and out of print today.

Melusine was first released ten years ago this month, so it was due for an update. This new release has an expanded character set and several improved and tweaked characters. It was quite popular when we first released it and it deserves a second look.
