A friend of mine let me use some of his older games (chessmaster 3000, loom, a few others) and I do NOT want something like this (really didn't seem any better than a normal disk game). I have played and finished the sierra games and don't want something like that. I have seen Lawnmower man and don't want to get stuck with something that disappointing. I would like a game that captures your attention and can come back to over and over. I was looking at Hell Cab, 7th Guest, the one where you're the probe trying to disable the big spaceship (I forget the name). It just seems that there are twice as many BAD "cd-rom games" as good ones. I want one that really uses this new technology, not one that is just a regular game served up on a cd... ken usblount@vm.cc.olemiss.edu
