Well you're saying that, so, I guess you know more than ALL the mags in the UK
- which, evidently, is more than I know.

This from Trevor in the UK. I received similar email from the other mags.

===========================================================
Derek,
Thanks for responding. I am currently trying to download the game (for the
third time!), as I have never played it. Still waiting to hear if we're allowed
to run the game from the powers that be, as you're probably aware, there is an
ELSPA ruling  that forbids commercial games being covermounted on European
games mags. Hopefully we can find a way round it, I'm of the opinion that it's
now more of a shareware/demo version of your new game.
I am more than willing to meet every point you mention in your emails, although
you did not include a logo graphic that the text refers to, is this the same
one that appears on your web site? If so I'll grab it from there. Will version
2 of BC3K be available for us to review? And when do you think this will be?
I'll keep you informed of how we are progressing this week, our April CD goes
to press on Thursday so I will have a decision by then.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Trevor Witt
