I wouldn't say it was exactly dead, but it is definitely resting. If it was really dead, I wouldn't come back and play it again every few months, ------------------------------- Scott T Jones Author of XCOMUTIL (current version 9.50) Author of APOCUTIL (current version 1.00) ------------------------------- http://XcomUtil.ScottTJones.com

It really is one of those "Golden Oldies" that you can keep coming back to. And the gameplay has aged well, considering...it'll still knock the socks off some more recent offerings at any rate ;) -- Daniel Blakemore Mini Gallery #1 - http://www.pbase.com/mylordkhorne/ #2 - http://www.voidgamers.com/channel/b.190.html?author_name=MYLORDKHORNE ICQ:14459824 Yahoo IM: mylordkhorne

Considering it's multiplayer and had cutting edge 3D graphics it should have a remake by now.
