Once upon a time I mentioned that I'd like to see the SR video game work
like X-Com ...

Well ... I just got Diablo, and have changed my mind!
I'd Loooooovvvveeeee to see an SR game that let you choose to play a Mage,
Sammy, or Decker, and link up on a battle.net style server to tackle runs!
You could wander Seattle tackling all kinds of missions.

Go see the fixer to upgrade armor and weapons ... etc!

Anyone else play Diablo and have anything to offer?

BTW, if you do play Diablo, I'm Alistaire the Warrior.
If you wanna hook up on Battle.net for a game sometime, just email me with
your character name! :-)

I got Diablo the day it came out and I love it. The interface would
be good for a Shadowrun game. As with all the other popular games, I
have heard that hackers are coming out with a game editor. If it does
come out, my programmer friend and I could design a Shadowrun version
of it. I'll keep you posted.

BTW, if you have Quake, the Alien Total Conversion is coming out the
31st. It looks awesome.

Look for Drekhead or Hack-N-Slash on Battle.Net, or drop me a note
and we can schedule a meeting to kill some demon hordes!!
