I got a copy in a 3-pack with Blood Money and Speedball (both great games!), but have yet to venture into Rocket Ranger. It looks like it's pretty complex... is it worth the effort to learn? By the way, if you have never read Dave Steven's "The Rocketeer" comic, you're missing some great fun. The artwork is superb, and the dialog and plots are a gas. Unfortunately, Stevens never finished the story... he got called away first to work on the sets and costumes for "The Flash", and then to work on the movie adaptation of his comic... and he isn't even drawing the graphic novel for the movie, only the cover. I am looking forward to the movie, though. ********************************************************************** Jonathan Whitcomb UUCP: Alcatel Network Systems, Raleigh, NC Delphi: JBWHIT
