- I remember reading somewhere that the DM authors put in some
- code to randomly start the floppy (i.e. the light comes on);
- supposedly it means ABSOLUTELY nothing, and is there to scare the shit
- out of you. (I know it got me more than once in those frantic 1st
- few days with DM!)
-
- What a GREAT game! One of the best ever (along with Shamus for my 400)
- (Ahhh, synapse, what a fine company they were... R.I.P.)
