Yes, but Terra Nova isn't really built upon the SS engine - my understanding is
that it is more of a voxel-based engine, similar to what Commanche was than
SS, which is more sprite-based.  Don't get me wrong, I'm *anxiously* awaiting
Terra Nova (even moreso than Quake), but another game built upon the SS engine
(dare I say it ... enhanced?) would be even better.  I prefer the
"dungeon-type" exploritory games more than anything else.

I remeber reading someplace, although I can't remember where, that there is
another game being produced by LG on the SS engine.  My wet dream would be
Ultima Underwolrd III, but we all know the chances of that ....

                  education is subservient to process.
