just wait till one of these games flops and no less donates again.

wow i killed that game so many times. those 5 1/4 disks died if you used them to much. and i played this game over and over on my comodor 64.

i am excited to hear they are thinking of another even if it may never happen.this is the first i have heard of anything. and it sounds like they are thinking of taking a fallout aproch. but with a squad. the origanal fallouts not the new stuff.

as much as i liked the 2 new fallouts. im more of a fan of the first 2 and tactics. but i think alot of old school gamers feel that way. im talkin 30 years plus age.
