   I don't know how long Strike Commander was delayed, but I do know that 
MechWarrior II was delayed for about a year and a half.  I was originally 
told that it would be out 10/93.  Now the date is pushed back to 3/95.  I 
would rather have a company push back the release date instead of doing 
what Sierra did with Outpost.  Outpost is a good game, but it could have 
been a great game had they completed it.
