John, Funny that you shoul ask that question. I just got off of the phone with the people from the SSI/Electronic Arts order line. You see when Champions of Krynn was released I was tol that Pools was going to be released later that week. Well here it is three months later and they still have my money and I don't hae my software. The manager of the order line told me that they had "problems" porting the game over, same old story. I tol him that the problem was that they were being taken by hte programming staff if they believe that. Why would Pools take so long when Champions came out the same time the IBM ersion did. I then called the SSI Tech info line, if you beg REALLY hard they will gie you the number <G>, and was told by one of the tech staff that Pools would be released at the end of this month. The main reason id that they hae Curse ready to bereleased and no Pools. But if you belive that you will be seeing Pools on the shelf soon I have some beach front property I would like to show you in Indiana. Hope to see the programs soon, <<<BP>>>

Bruce, Thank you for the information, I too have a feeling that this may be yet another of their missed release dates (i.e. I'd like to see that property before I will buy). It is good to hear that Curse will be coming out soon after the release try to complete them both at once. I may buy Pools and finish it before Curse. I hope that there is some coming information about the release of the TVS series as Sports is in my blood and I just can't get ehough of it. (I am one of those die hard fans who endlessly watches the TVS: Football as Two computer teams battle it out. I just love it!) TVS: Basketball was a little weak, but it provides a little entertainment (if you don't let the fourth qtr comeback programmed into the game get you down). O O A John —
