If you need any help, just holler! > Eric Hyman > er...@holonet.net 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. -- Roger Stump | "I'm going to call myself on the phone University at Albany | one day and tell myself to shut up." rst...@itchy.geog.albany.edu | --Miles Davis
