- When I talked with Marc via email, he said that there were only about
- 1600 copies sold. But, I would be willing to bet that there were over
- 20,000 copies out there. I know, I had one of them. I felt so guilty
- about it, that I sent him a check for pirating the game. I suggest
- others do the same.
