- I don't have any hard figures on the sales of OOTW, however, it was
- good enough for Interplay so that they've decided to let Bill do another
- GS title. 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?
-
- Oh, this info is still subject to confirmation, since I had read this
- from a BBS, but should be reliable enough, since Bill hasn't said
- anything to the contrary.
