I wonder if I should take time off from work; no, I play mostly at work anyway (No wife at work)[8|]

Running through my head I'm hearing the Simpson kids in the car ... Is it gold yet? Is it gold yet? Is it gold yet?...

Maybe we should start a poll and guess?

End of June was the most recent, unofficial, projected, off-the-record, possible, estimated release date.

But of course, this could change.

The 2by3 Developer Journal implies MAYBE early June. One can only hope but more likely latter I suspect. [:(]

We are shooting to have this ready for sale at Origins (Matrix will be there). This is still possible. We are very close. For quite some time now we've been aiming for the code to be done by the end of May and that is still possible. Ask us again in 10 days and we'll know a lot more.

How about a pool. Winner gets a free copy. Tie breaker is who has first guess. Mine is June 29th.

Since this is the first guess, I have the tie breaker if I am right. [;)]

Since they're getting ready to start to begin to prepare to project the possibility of a date for release - I'll guess at 1945Q 23 Jun 2004.

I'll settle for "When we're finished with it, it will be done". I'd just like them to start
taking orders 10 days in advance so all the lables and shipping cartons can be ready
to have the games dropped in and be out the door as soon as is feasible.

They need to start taking orders at least a month in advance, the way demand is going to be! (OK 15 days)

I seem to recall a recent thread which asked this very question, but never got answered.[8|] Pre-ordering would seem to be a must for those of us that have been loyally following this game's development the last 2 years.
My guess for the release of this classic is June 1st. Yes, I know it won't be out then, but it is my birthday![8D] I've already asked my wife for a model of the USS Essex, 1/350 scale!

Hello...

Almost done, Rev. We did a lot of things in this game that I wanted to do in the Matrix PacWar patch, but did not have enough DOS memory to do.

Hope You Enjoy the Game...
