The following revelation escaped Jimmy Shaw's lips:

    Wasn't someone working on BattleChess II already?  One that runs under
GS/OS, can be installed on a hard drive, faster, smarter, better graphics
and sound, etc., etc.?

    Any game with the word "Mario" in the title will usually sell a lot of
copies on name recognition alone.  It probably wouldn't take Bill half as
long to do MTT as OOTW, so maybe Interplay has something else lined up for
him.  :)  (We can always hope!)
