- The following revelation escaped Jimmy Shaw's lips:

- > I am not all that excited about the new project though...
- > It's _Mario Teaches Typing_ supposedly a education program, kinda like
- > Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing. :( Why can't we get BattleChess II or
- > Castles ported?
-
- Wasn't someone working on BattleChess II already? One that runs under
- GS/OS, can be installed on a hard drive, faster, smarter, better graphics
- and sound, etc., etc.?
-
- Any game with the word "Mario" in the title will usually sell a lot of
- copies on name recognition alone. It probably wouldn't take Bill half as
- long to do MTT as OOTW, so maybe Interplay has something else lined up for
- him. :) (We can always hope!)
