Well, according to my game docs, Eric Hyman is the programmer (and co-director
and co-desginer) of Planet's Edge, so he may in fact be a bit biased.  But
he is also right, this is a great game, one of the best I have played (and no,
I don't have any connections with New World Computing).  Good puzzles and
subplots of all sorts (the "claw puzzle" is really cool), few bugs (and no
major ones), good interface.  And long; I spent about 6 weeks on it (just
finished it yesterday).

Three questions for Mr. Hyman:  (1) Are there plans for a sequel?  (2) How
many different ships should you be able to build by the end of the game?
(3) I will probably replay the game sometime during the summer; any hints
on possible Easter eggs?  Thanks.
