Sorry, guys, but i'm pleased to tell you that you are W R O N G !!!! :-) M.U.L.E. is in development for the Amiga, a german games factory(?) is working on this. I've already seen some pictures in a german computer & video games mag, and it looks neat! It will, however, differ a little from the old (ORIGINAL) Atari 8-bit version. E.g., there will be a new type of action, using 'defensive' plots. These don't produce anything, but when pirates are coming, the player with _MOST_ of these defensive plots will not be robbed. Nice, eh ?? :) Besides, the graphics have been reworked to fit the Amiga's capabilities (especially inside the 'sales room' (don't know a better word for it now - hope you'll understand...) ) There is even more to it - it was said to be supporting 4 players, that is the (somewhere posted) interface to get 2 more joysticks plugged to the parallel port. Imagine that ! Playing, as in good ol' times, with four players at one auction, each trying to get a plot that is to be sold as cheap as possible - and suddenly letting others take it for a horrible price!! :> Well, all I can say is i hope it will be out soon - and there will be a NTSC version for you guys on the other side of the atlantic... :| P.S.:The same guys are also working on an Amiga port of BALLBLAZER!!! Keep tuned! :) Adios, -- + Frank Neumann, Hauptstr. 107, 2900 Oldenburg, FRG The Amiga is it. + + neumann@uniol.uucp ZER:neumann@uniol.zer InHouse: amigo@faramir +
