Hi, guys, I just have a new version of sf2ibm.zip from Korea. This includes mor

Well..It still only good for these three guy, anyway, it is better than nothing

BTW, I think that the guys on wuarchive regard sf2.zip as hacked version or pir

I've heard the same story also. XOR has said they were going to get the game
out before the end of September, sometime in October, at the end of November
and before Christmas on different occasions to me. I'm not a believer in
this date either. They'll have to SHOW it to me!

XOR also has some notable business practices. They took my credit
information at the end of the summer promising to charge me only when the
game was actually shipping, but ended up charging me in September. When I
protested to the woman on the phone she calmly explained that it was an
"upper management" decision and that many people were upset. The only
options that remained were to cancel or wait "a few weeks". I went for the
bait then but I now have half a mind to cancel and buy Front Page Football
instead! I'd have cancelled much sooner but for the fact that I loved NFL
Challenge.

Ohh, it doesn't look good for you.  It needs SO much

Well, F-15 Strike Eagle III FINALLY came out.

You may wanna look into that. The game looks pretty nice. Looks like F-117
dressed up in VGA 256. The intro is very well done. It's like a big FLI file
with great digisound f/x. The intro itself is 2 megs; the total game is 
10 megs installed. 

If you're looking for something more than mere shoot 'em up like Comanche and
don't QUITE want the complexity of Falcon 3.0, then F-15 III maybe for you.

There is something similar to it in Wing Commander space...  if you
don't keep thrusting you come to a stop, and your flight crews seem to
have to problem with open flight decks (although that could be a force

Unlikely, Blindmeis seems to be the only one that will steal.
If you really did have it then just a miss-click on the mouse could have
dropped it.  You definitely need it to complete so suggest use the W7 character
editor off wuarchive(I can e-mail if needed) which, without wanting a flame
war, I would suggest IMHO is a reasonable use for the editor.

The NPC's are engaged in sub-plots.  I did not attack any outright, even tho
I did get quite p...ed off at their continual appearance, particularly the
drunk monk.  If they initiated the attack then they died!
I did regularly check them out as in this way I was able to purchase a couple
of maps that had come into their possession.

There is another chamber with a pillar a fair way into the cave ie go in to the
left up a bit and back to the right and down a bit. You will initially
need to face the pillar(I think) and an altar will be behind you.

>the associated SuperStor disk compression?

I run it on a SuperStor compressed drive under DR DOS 6.0. Don't worry about 
things that "require" MS DOS 5.0 -- usually, all this means is that they 
need more memory than you can get under earlier versions. Since DR DOS's 
memory manegement is as good as or better than MS DOS 5.0, this is not a 
problem.

No, others may have been saying January '93, but SSI has always said
March/April.  We're doing a preview on it in Game Bytes #8.
