(or at least that's what the demo seems like at first glance... I've not played it much yet.) Basically connect a space-flight sim with the base management of XCom1/2. So far I think it's worth the time it took to download, and will more than likely invest in it when the full game comes out. Of course, YMMV... that's just my opinion. > -Krud Death ICQ UIN: 3908950 <http://wwp.mirabilis.com/3908950> Write to your congressman and ask them if they support Representative Chris Smith's "Netizen's Protection Act of 1997" (H.R. 1748). If not, ask why they feel your mailbox should be used like public property.
