I *think* I heard something about a new scenarios disk to be eventually released for this.

I'd buy pretty much anything new by them sight unseen. Other miscellaneous stuff: o Anyone ever played a game called "Brat"? Great graphics. Innovative gameplay. It's sort of a platform type game, but you don't control the main character with a joystick. Instead, you place directional arrows ahead of his path with a mouse. There's all kinds of additional things to pick up and puzzles to figure out. Haven't seen anything about it in this newsgroup. The only downer about it is that it hits the disk a bit too much. o The author of Captive, Tony Crowther, is at work on a game using the same basic engine as Captive, but supposedly LOTS more puzzle variety. It's set in a dungeon-type environment, as oppoesed to Captive's space theme. I think it's called Knightsbreed or something. Due out in Sept. Saw some early screen shots, looks like a winner. o I've heard about new levels disk for Cadaver. Anyone know when that's coming out? o I read a brief blurb and saw a screen shot of a game coming out called Realm. It's a strategy game and it looked similar to Powermonger. Anyone know anything about it? -edg-

There are supposedly at least two new data disks coming out for Power Monger; World War I disk and Middle Earth. Jamie.
