But that wasn't promised "Real soon now".  At AmiExpo Chicago in 1988 Jim
Sachs said it would take at least a year and a half or two years from that
point to complete.   (Which, would make it around now).  I have heard a rumor
that it's going to be on CDTV, and given Jim's ideas about the Amiga and about
computer games in general, I wouldn't be at all surprised if that was true.
I think he was going to release it under his own label.  Keep in mind that
this data is pretty old, so things might have changed since then.

Pretty impressive demo at the AmiExpo show though....should be great when
it's finally done!

Lets not also forget that Jim had a virus hit some of his disks of
work on that program and lost quite a bit of it.
