I don't think it's the best game ever, but it is a pretty good game
to me. Especially since it's a 2.0 card game, I take it for what it
can do, considering the lack of memory. And when it comes to
Working Designs, I don't think they ever got the rights(was gonna be
Cyber Twins), but TTI did, & they we're gonna call it Shockman 2,
with TTI doing the text(of what little there is) & WD doing the
voice acting, like with Dungeon Explorer 2. I don't know if this
was ever announced, or if I heard it directly from Don Shirley of
WD, or from Eun Lopez, who was their last secretary, & I became good
friends with......atleast, until her husband thought she was having
an affair with me, but, that's another story for another time.
