Y'know, this has potential. Out of all of the games I mentioned so many
zillion messages ago, I've seen more responses which start off with, "Hey,
yeah, Bilestoad! I remember...." IMO, this was one heckuva game; I'd buy a
good version if such were to be made, and from the sound of it so would a
lot of people. Right?

So. The big question. Who can we con into writing it? Has to be someone
good; if it were a pitiful port I'd cry. Maybe a letter-writing campaign.
You people reading this represent a HUGE pressure group on the negative
side, and a highly lucrative market on the positive one. We have to be
able to get some programmer to do it and do it right. Ideas?

And if this works, who knows? We could see Crossfire again. Or good
versions of classic games. Imagine your favorite game on another machine --
on a Mac! It could happen, we just have to stand up and be loud and be
counted!

So who's got ideas?
