	Well, Rich, I will be happy to tell you about DragonWars GS (and
maybe help Interplay sell one more piece of GS software :)

	I bought the IIe version of DragonWars when it first came out, and
being a long time fan of FRPGs (Fantasy Role-playing Games), and Bard's Tale
addict, it was a great delight to see a new a improved version of a game that
I already enjoy greatly.  When the GS version finally came around, I got the
upgrade from Interplay for 10 bucks.

	The GS version has great sound, and spectacular graphics (it was
converted from the Amiga version) and Bill Heineman did another great job
on the GS.  The game is the basic "Find the bad guy and slay him", found in
just about all FRPGs, but it is the implementation of the user interface
and other things that make the game so good.

	DragonWars and Immortal are really two different types of games:
DWgs is more of a role-playing game, and Immortal is a arcade-action adventure.
I would recommand both game in any GS lover's colection.
