Well, I for one will be extremely disappointed if the new versions don't 
come out for the Atari ST, although I certainly can sympathize with the 
economics of the situation.  Perhaps they are just going about it the 
wrong way.  For instance, Interstell upgraded my 2.0 version of Empire 
to 2.5, and didn't charge me ANYTHING!  I was quite surprised, and would
certainly have paid for the upgrade.  I suspect that he could easily 
justify the upgrade (I can't believe it would be a port from the IBM, 
give that the base program already exists for the ST) if he were to 
offer it to all registered users for a discounted price of say $25 US 
for a major upgrade.  I for one would buy it....and I have faith that 
the company will be around for a while an supporting their product as 
they have in the past.
Between users already registered who would buy...with no retail markup t
o reduce their profits, and new sales through the retail network
I think they can do quite well on an ST product.
I also think Mark and Interstel should look at the potentially enlarged 
market of Atari ST users (assuming that Atari can get their act together
and deliver the campaign and some goodies like the STE) P.S. Yes I use my 
Atari for games, and am proud of it!
