There's also an addon for it. I've just purchased the game and the addon yesterday. It's exactly the kind of game I've been after for years. I had to get the addon from a separate place and can't remember where that was but it's certainly a blast to play despite having to disable the music and run in protected mode. The sounds are still neat. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Zachary Kline" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, December 16, 2007 12:54 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Smugglers 3, a new space trading game
