ICOCBW, but weren't you the one that submitted the game in the first place? :-) I would have reminded you, but it might have seemed presumptuous. Out of curiosity, what other games are there in the R&GSuite that haven't yet been played? > If anyone wishes to try it again, I would be inclined to play.
