Well, you used to able to buy both ARCHONs, but, sadly, M.U.L.E. has never
been made available for the Amiga. I talked with an EA rep last weekend and
she said that the tale (heard recently on the net) that EA was working on an
advanced version of the game about six months ago was not true. They do own
the code for any computer version (Mindscape owns Nintendo rights), so a
PD/Shareware version looks out. From everything I have heard, EA loves the
game as much as we do, but they are a business, and M.U.L.E. sold VERY
poorly. (As did the also sadly out of print INSTANT MUSIC)...
