	I was flipping through a Personal Computing mag last night in the 
library and came across an article about computer gaming. In it they mentioned 
that FASA is working on a BattleTech game that involves several players all 
sitting in their own "cockpit" just like you were in a 'tech. You interact with 
the other players (and try to blow them up) via radio. It's all done in a big 
room (5000 sq. ft.). What interested me (and some of you I imagine) was that 
they are using an Amiga for one of the displays. The game supposedly will take 
up to an hour to play, cost $6 and be available fall of 90. 

	Anybody else hear about this?
