I also am very impressed.

However, I will not send any money for this.

Why? Games this good, or any programming this good, should
be commercially sold and properly marketed. 

Everyone keeps whining about the decline of the Apple //.
Exception programs sold as shareware is partly to blame...
there is no presence on the retail shelves and so the
natural conclusion of the masses is: Oh the // line is 
an old dinosaur that nobody uses or develops for anymore.

Nope. You'll get my money when I see it on the software 
shelves.

Oh, and lest you think I don't know what I am yammering about,
I work for MicroAge Computers...in the product returns department
of our Tulsa franchise. To date, I have seen ONE Apple //
product being returned. The volume of IBM and Mac returns, however,
is astounding but understandable because of the volume of initial
_sales_!

Come on developers! Market your programs! Advertise! If you
can't sell to one of the established publishers, start your
own company or band together with other developers. There is
nothing wrong with the Apple // market except that it is
fading into obscurity.
