   The summary line says it all . . . Electronic Arts is distributing for
Interstel.  $33?  Rats . . . I paid $38.  Oh, well . . .

   The ST version of Bright's Empire is very fast and I like its
extensions to the original.  Unfortunately, the color screen on the ST burns
out my eyes faster than any of the minicomputer terminals ever did . . .

   One question for Mr. Bright (assuming he reads this):  Is the PC version of
Empire out yet?  The local software stores have all bull$#!++ed me about it . .
