You really haven’t heard the Beatles unless you’ve heard Dick Hyman perform it on Moog.

(And yes he’s still alive and responded to my fan letter.)

It does seem like a video game universe that could really take off with online play. (Though I guess it would just be copying Warcraft at this point.)

It's one of those games that I know (now) was really just built to eat as many quarters as possible. But I still love it.
