:        Sounds alot like Ultima 6 GS :( I'd much rather have U6 GS though,

There was/is an ultima 6?  Wow... maybe we should try getting that...

: though the visuals were pretty impressive, the sound was sorely lacking,

Yes, the graphics were nice -- and the sounds weren't half that bad... I 
can still impress my PC friends with Space Ace :>

:gameplay was about nil, and the interface was horrible. It came on *9*

Oh Gawd... the interface... yuck... and yea, gameplay was disgusting.

:disks too, which for the time (1989 maybe?) was unheard of :) Compression,

Compression wasn't as big a thing back them, I think -- and for all the
animation frames, etc., maybe it could have been shrunk to about 4 disks, 
which is admittedly better than 9, but even 4 disks would be much.  I don't
know if complaining is that justifiable, since I have Rise of the Robots for
the PC, which takes up 32 meg on a hard disk...  Maybe someone could convert
that for the GS... wow! :)

:anyone? Okay, so Dragon's Lair II GS probably sucks, but at this point

Any new software doesn't suck...  And from what I've seen of Dragon's Lair II
for the PC -- it is pretty awesome!  The graphics are superb, and the sound
is pretty cool.  I'm not sure how many disks it is, though.

:in time, we're kinda desperate for new software, so I guess it could be
:pursued :)

I don't think we're _desperate_, there's plenty out there for us to use, and
people are developing new software (fewer people, yes), but that's what 
happens when a computer isn't made anymore.  But I am completely satisfied
with what software I have now (and a lot of it at that) and will continue
to buy the very impressive software slated to come out -- no despratism here.
