Hi all, If you'd like some info on the game, check out the preview Dan Watts wrote for us over at GamePen (http://www.gamepen.com/previews/obsidian.html) This will be updated soon, as Dan just got the Beta from SegaSoft and will be taking a look at it. As for a working demo, I have a zip disk with a 30.5 meg demo SegaSoft fedexed me today. You can expect it up on our site by the weekend. There is a link to SegaSoft's FTP up at GamePen now (http://www.gamepen.com/cradle/obsidian/) which will get you a 17.8 meg demo. Again, this weekend you'll be able to get the bigger demo straight from our server.
