  Grenades.  So when are we going to get the laser pistols and plasma
rifles?  Are these weapons really in the spirit of the game?  Does the
game have a spirit?  Oh well, not really saying that I object, just
pointing out that grenades seem to tread on the thin line of magic and
fantasy.

  By the way, instead of all these really niggling little changes, why
doesn't someone bite the bullet and make a real change.  Either real time
play or multi-player would be a quantum jump in functionality.  I mean,
the depth of feel that all these detailed and filigreed features add to
hack is nice, but sooner or later you have to add something real.
