Feel free to repost, but since I don't know the folks on the other forum please keep me anonymous...not that I've given out anything secret, but I don't necessarily want a bunch of people contacting me either.
Also, please put a disclaimer that these numbers are heavily rounded and that I don't work for Lucas or know the specifics of their development costs.

I can quote you or keep it anonymous, but I'd love to post this info somewhere else (where there is a raging discussion going on over Sam and Max). -- Jim Leonard ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) World's largest electronic gaming project: http://www.MobyGames.com/ A delicious slice of the demoscene: http://www.MindCandyDVD.com/ Various oldskool PC rants and ramblings: http://www.oldskool.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
