- Yep, and since I haven't registered yet I have the added challenge of
- playing against the clock. But I mastered that game a long while ago.
- even with random territories, you pretty well have it made.

- As far as speed goes, sorry, not a Mac, not as Fast. Here is the score,
- even though only one request was forthcoming. These scores, provided by
- myself and Richard Steiner (the Mac scores are mine, but they compare well
- with those I received from an independent source):

- ----------------------------
- That's it folks.
-
- The LC 630 uses a 68LC040 running at 33Mhz, with no FPU.
- I suppose a hotter graphics card on the PC might help. But regardless of
- the speed the product is still a fairly amazing feat. Especially
- considering that ARDI did it without a peek at the ROMs or system code.
