    BTW, Microprose is now technically Atari. Microprose was bought by Hasbro, which was in turn bought by Inforgrames, which is Atari now. But of course, Atari now are nothing like the nice bunch Microprose were.

        didn't know that

        well I even if it is, I guess if it is tied to the company performance it's hardly something unreasonable I'd imagine. Why sell it otherwise, so well... they should make a fair chunk soon if not immidiately.

        As for Microprose = bad mangement decisions and owner changes

          I though Microprose has been shut down entirely, but apparently the studio in Hunt Valley still exists, though not called Microprose: http://apolyton.net/news/search.php?...ndOr=or&Find2=

          This was over 3 years ago though.
