- Although their games are moderate, the DO leave a little to be wished
- for. For instance, try to target on an opponent near the horizon who's
- moderately far away in Red Baron. You can't do it, it jumps around too much.
-
- On another infuriating note, they decided that Shadow of Yserbius,
- although it is a good game, deserves to cost the amount of all of the
- SierraLand games combined. Since it is the only multi-player GUI FRP I can
- find, I have to pay the price. Hopefully it will drop someday, and maybe
- they'll work out all they're interesting bugs; none of which are likely
- in the near future.
