Often, snake handlers are bitten who are unaware that this species is able to bite while being held by the neck. "Tomorrow, the World" Take over the world with the power of mad science and middle management. Allocate resources, review exciting reports of your minions activities and ultimately secure your path to world domination. "The world is not enough, but it will do for a start." Important Gameplay Note Since the interface misleads people, and running out of money at the start is frustrating: We didn't get around to implementing anything that relies on the number of copies of a single weapon you carry, so buying multiple copies isn't useful. jerith drnlm Rizziepit hodgestar
