While we're on this track...
Anyone remember RobotWar?  It was by Muse also.  You programmed robots,
in a sort of assembly language and then put them on a battlefield to
duke it out.  This is MY favorite multi-player game of all-time.  I heard
a while ago, someone was porting it to the Mac.  Are there any similar
games like this for the Amiga?
