Though, I've never seen it in any store yet, neither read anything about it in French magazines. (I'm french, that explains bad use of English language and heavy French accent.) As for PowerMonger, When I bought it (in Feb'91), enclosed in the box, was an announce for an extension disk (new worlds to conquer), and a book (Strategy Guide or something like that) to appear (disk & book) in March. I've seen nothing coming up to date... Has anyone one some information about that? And also about Populous II, too ? =================================================================== = Jean-Etienne Doucet = doucet@laas.laas.fr = = LAAS - CNRS ======================================= = = Toulouse, France = this space is NOT left blank... = ===================================================================
