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... _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Leo L.
