Yup, this list switches between frantic activity and solemn silence. Around here, well, I got word from Ken Love, producer at Activision, that they are planning a Zork IV. We've had occasional email contact since then and it looks like it might take off, but it has been awhile.
I am also starting to sell the dozen or so Space Quest Collector's Editions I have here via ebay. If any of you are interested, give me a holler. Oh, and we have a damn hot heatwave in Germany. Today we had 36°C, that's 97°F for you on the other side of the big pond. They say we are in for a constant climate change in that direction, meaning in 20 years we can have palms instead of oaks lining streets. Marco "C.E.
