From looking at the IBM PC version of Empire, it would seem that Mark wrote GEM emulation routines for the PC so that it would look more like the ST ;-). It shouldn't take anywhere near 2 to 3 months to port Empire II. However, if they aren't going to also sell to the British market, it might not be worth their while. Time for me to write them a letter telling them how much I want to buy Empire II. Empire is the only commercial game I've ever purchased. ------ Greg Lindahl gl8f@virginia.edu I'm not the NRA.
