Opinions? I saw the disk but it was going for $40 cdn. and I wasn't inclined to part with that kind of beans without more info. I decided it was time to send in my registration card and maybe I could get cheaper directly. Bob

Falcon Mission Disk II is called Operation: Firefight. I don't know if dealers have it yet, but MicroProse sent me an ad for it since I am a registered owner of Falcon. It costs $19.95 direct from them and sounds pretty cool... HARM missles, AMRAAM Air-to-Air Missles, Hind-D gunships and MiG-27 fighter/bombers to tangle with... BTW, their promotional ad was really tacky... it had "Mobilization Orders" printed on it, and this pompous pseudo-official look... seemed like they were trying to capitalize on the Iraq thing. I wrote them a critical letter, even though I am interested in the product ;-) . Haven't heard back from them yet. _______________________________________________________________________________ ______________ |\ /| | \/ | ike Greelish Carnegie-Mellon U. undergrad quote: "CMU is as close to artificial reality as you can get in 1990." stupid disclaimer: My opinions are MINE MINE MINE all MINE!!!

Ha ha ha. I *SENT* the letter to Spectrum Holobyte, I just *THOUGHT* that Microprose was the company... I bboard on-campus, my ST (and the letter Spectrum Holobyte sent me) are at home, 2 miles away. BTW, everything else I said was accurate. Excuuuuuuse me! _______________________________________________________________________________ ______________ |\ /| | \/ | ike Greelish Carnegie-Mellon U. undergrad quote: "CMU is as close to artificial reality as you can get in 1990." stupid disclaimer: My opinions are MINE MINE MINE all MINE!!!
