Or "buying" as it's known round here. Y'know, money getting passed around,
all that sort of thing.

Quite possibly. Although I'm waiting for 2006 when "Horror From The Heap" is
due for release.

Whatever remains? That would be the word "Microprose," unfortunately. And a
vast back catalogue of fond memories.

The trouble with Genesis was that it was only a demo. We have no way of
knowing what kind of machine it was running on, or what kind of framerate
was achieved. So comparisons are out of the window. At least Aftermath is
finished, on sale and working.

At the end of the day, the sad fact is that there's only one superlative
designer of squad-based combat gamery in the business. And he's far too busy
with Laser Squad Nemesis right now.
