I agree with the lot of you. It's a great game and I recently picked
it up again. I'm playing at level 200-something just to see how
dificult the start can get before I crack :)

Back when ImpII was released, there was no intention to do a #3. Ben
Polk went off to other tasks. Since then a number of mergers and
aqcuisitions have occured, that I can't keep track of. So I don't know
what the status is, but to sum up, I find it unlikely that there will
ever be a #3.

It is sad, btw. that there are almost no webressources for this game.
All one can find oficially is a number of the useless gamereviews. SSI
used to have a link to my webpage, but that has been reorganised away.
It's nothing special actually, but to those who bother it's:
www.geocities.com/pentagon/9116

If anyone has anything for/about Imp or ImpII they think should be
made available, I'd love to host it (I have too little time to do much
about it myself).
