Excuse me, but this "blatant ripoff" happens to be called Stellar 7, so it's
not really a ripoff, and it is one fantastic game!  I've played both the
Apple II original and the PC/VGA version, and both are great, of course.  I
don't see anything wrong with taking such a game and giving it new life by
releasing a modern version.  It gives people who were too young 10 years ago
a chance to experience a great game which would otherwise be overlooked and
forgotten.  I wish other companies would do the same thing.  What I wouldn't
do for a new version of M.U.L.E.!

Hey, did you complain when the music of the Beatles was re-released on CD?
