	We approached EA with the intention of writing M.U.L.E. for the
Amiga.  They wanted nothing to do with it, largely because it wasn't a big
seller when it was originally released.

	EA, being a company interested in making money like any other
American company, doesn't publish stuff it thinks won't make money.  So they
bounced our M.U.L.E. proposal.  Now the next logical question is, why didn't
they sell us the publishing rights to M.U.L.E. and let us sink or swim on
our own?  Dunno.

	This is a semi-sore spot with me, since I went to no insignificant
trouble to write a flashy demo using their logo that should have impressed
them.  From what I can tell, they yawned at it.  Oh well.

	The upshot is that it is highly improbable that you will ever see
M.U.L.E. for the Amiga.  Unfortunate, really...
