You haven't seen this thing.  I have.  I'm amazed that they can get it out
the door for only $69 - it's gigantic, it's incredibly dense, and it's one
of the best pieces of work I've ever seen, as far as simulations go.  If I
had a Mac II and a big color monitor, I'd shell out the $69 in about one
instant - this is a FANTASTIC game (if you even want to call it a game).
