More New Games
A couple of new games have been brought to my attention that may be worthy of your interest.

First off is a freeware game entitled GameBiz 2. It's a complex little business simulation of running a game company from 1980 up through... whenever. The interface is clumsy, the spelling is... creative, and I have no idea how accurate the simulation is. It's definitely complicated, but I had a lot of fun running Rampant Games into the ground in only 4 years starting with a $6 million investment. Apparently, my "Penultima" RPG series for the TRS-80, Vic-20, Apple II, and Commodore 64 wasn't such a big hit. They cost more money just sitting on store shelves than they made. Ah, well. At least I know I wasn't the only videogame company that went down following the crash of 1983...

Hey, it's a free game.

Also, MMagio wanted to recommend the new 3D Space Combat game, "The Arvoch Conflict." Now, I do have a soft place in my heart for 3D space combat games, and this one apparently adds a bit of real-time strategy and resource management to the mix. If I find the time, I want to try it out. Star Wraith Games comes out with a new 3D space combat game about every six months, so they are probably getting pretty good at it by now.

(And yes, I'm highlighting the competition, here. Who said I was a smart businessman? I just love indie games...)
