Somehow I kind of doubt there's a >conspiracy against shareware headed by commercial game makers :) There is a paragraph and screenshot of DOOM in February issue of CGW in "Taking a peek" section. Perhaps there will be a review in a later issue. CGW is one of the more serious, level-headed game magazines and is not likely to go crazy over an action game (did they ever have a full review of W3D?). They also don't like to base reviews on pre-release version of the game. Expect greater coverage in video-game magazines which are more likely to be impressed by DOOM. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is virually no application in the world | gl...@io.com that OS/2 cannot support - Bill Gates. | known as Glaz/2.
