Someone recently asked about the CultureShock game in the latest NeXTConnection
catalog.  Well I was foolish enough to purchase this "game", so I will give a
quick review of what I thought:

    It's a mahjongg/shanghi varient.  You have a lot of little titles that you
need to remove from a large pile.  Each little tile has a picture of something
related to our life and times (Ohhh, how deep).  Not only are there culturally 
significant icons (drawn by a programmer, not a graphic artist), when you 
remove the icons, you get a little sound clip.  For instance when you remove
the two NeXT tiles, you get to listen to steve talk (taken straight from mail)

    There really isn't a how lot more to say about this game, I wouldn't pay 5 
dollars for it if it was shareware, BlastApp and BoinkOut are much better games
at a much better price.
