Hello, fellow Mac People:

I hear that a great game is in the works for the Mac, which I recently
played in the arcade, Attaxx.

Where can I get the demo that I hear about?!!?
Is it color, etc.?

I really really want this!

There are two versions of Ataxx that were recently introducted.  The first
that I saw was called Caesar and is available on sumex.  It's a pretty
bad implementation of the game, with only one board with no walls.  The
second version called Chello was uploaded to comp.binaries last week and
is also available from the umich archive.  It is by far better with many
different boards to choose from.  I'm not sure about color, since I only
have an SE, but the default player names are Red and Blue, so this might
suggest color.  I'm not sure how well the Mac plays because I basically
suck at the game.

Hope this helps,
