Ahh.. Scott Patterson wrote Sword of Sodan and Task Force and John Brookes
wrote Rastan. They're not the same person! I work with Scott now and he
no longer has the source for Sword of Sodan (or at least doesn't know
where it is). Work was halted when he left the company he was writing it
for. The Sword of Sodan demo is the most we'll ever see of it.

Oh, I -do- have a version of FTA's Space Harrier with a few more additions
then the Space Harrier demo that was released. (of course, the source
code along with it is a nice bonus). I'm hesitant to release it not knowing
what FTA's wishes are concerning it. I mention this since somone was
asking about it a few days ago.
