Rules

It takes 3 quarters to make a game. Speaking of games, please keep the tech of the era, in the era. No HD graphics in the eighties.
It takes 3 quarters to develop a game. First quarter you announce a game. The next quarter you market the game (more on that later) then the final quarter you release details for the game.
