Yes, the original was based on a real cartoon. The sequel, which I was looking forward to, was supposed to be in completely real 3D.

There is a fantastic new game coming out based on SST- and not like the horrible RTS version released by MicroProse about a year back.

If you get PC Gamer in the UK, check out the preview/scoop in the february 2004 issue. Will be released in Fall 2004 by empireinteractive (check out their website). Looks fantastic, and true to the movie.

Arr, your SENIOR PROM question was the one I got wrong on that danged quiz of yours.

Blah, might be the usual war game, but don’t expect WWIII.

Cmon, it’s a low budget movie (maybe a few millions). I haven’t seen it, but have seen screencaps, and it looks low budget and special effects are corny. They tailor to the special effects by keeping all the troopers confined in a base, and there’s this bug that bites them and mutates them into bugs? so it’s a cheap take on The Thing.

Hey hey, it’s also published by PiBu- if you look closely at the cover you’ll see. Mmmm… color pictures.

Interesting; wonder how optimistic are those dates? The more conservative/pessimistic AW&ST pegged the first flight at 2007, but this sounds more reasonable.
