Hi,

I've been playing around with my friends Mac, and I came across this game
called "Lunatic Fringe" that comes with the AfterDark for Macintosh.  Now,
this may be a dumb question, but why can't I get it for the Windows After Dark.

Could it be?... NO!... Don't say it.... that the Macintosh is.... (gulp)

better(???) than the PC?!?

I "shore" would like to get my hands on this wonderful "productivity" tool
for Windows.  With the multitude of accelerator cards and local bus video
mbs that are coming out, I wouldn't think that speed would be too much of a
problem.

PS - For those who don't know what Lunatic Fringe is, it's a highly addictive
game/screen saver for After Dark, which at the moment, I believe is only
available for the Mac.  It's a space, shoot-'em-up game with *awesome* graphics
in 256 colors.  The detail and animation were very impressive.  For example,
all of the objects are shadowed as if they have a single light source, i.e. as
you turn your ship, the shadows change the give the illusion that the light is
always coming from a single direction.
