Yeah, I've been wondering the exactly same thing since the sneak preview in 
the last July (?) issue of Computer Gaming World.  I actually thought the 
project was cancelled or something because I haven't seen anything after 
that and I read every CGW issue.  I was surprised when I went home (Finland) 
during X-mas break and saw one of my friends playing it.  I fell in love 
with it and wanted to get it bad, but I still don't know where to get it 
from.  So far I've considered CGW the best game magazine but 
this makes me wonder.

Sorry 'bout the sig :-]
