Dunno - there is an agreement not to publish full commercial (or
ex-commercial) games on UK CDs because then people don't buy games -
they spend their limited gaming time playing the freebies.

Derek will probably have to pretend that it is in fact a demo of the
upcoming version. ;)


I tried it, and although the presentation was very good, the in-game
graphics are showing their age.  It also has a learning curve that
makes the Himalayas look like a small pimple.  Although there is the
argument that complex software means a complex/deep interface, I found
many things very unintuative indeed, and it did put me right off the
game. 

I think Derek will have to have a hard think about how to make the
player interact more easily without having to learn the whole of the
giant manual by heart before even starting the game.  With the
upcoming graphics engine, the game does show a lot of potential, but I
would have been disappointed if I'd paid money for it.
