Okay, I'll tell. I've seen early versions of both the lucasfilm
games, and played one of them quite a bit. They are tentatively called
"Behind Jaggai Lines" and "Ballblaster". They are without any doubt
the greatest games I have seen on any home computer system. BJL is
a shoot the aliens game, and BB is a bumbercar soccer game. Both have
3-D graphics, with the screen looking like a viewport into the real
world. BJL has a better flight simulator than the ones running on
the IBM-PC. BB is fast, exciting and an incredible amount of fun.
Definitely the biggest thing since pacman. You can stop wondering.
