Just getting this off the wanted pages list.

Thanks, Jochen! :-)

So, then I will add something about myself. I started playing VGA Planets 3 many years ago. I did not play all the time, but never lost contact the the current developments. Some add-ons I had written for Planets 3 / 3.5 (even got an add-on ('UFO') id from Tim for that), was "official" Gold Beta tester for 3 and 3.5 (well, of course, everybody is beta tester in a way here :-) ). I feel 'privileged' because I had had some private emails with Tim, not concerning any VGA Planets stuff :-) (This self-pride is a pity, isn't it? :-) ). Some code snips I got from Tim and showed him some errors and I asked him several times to find some people to help him fixing the code. But he always denied then. I'm sure that other did ask as well and at last, many years later, with VGA Planets 4, he seems to be convinced; Gabor and Magik (and others?) are doing a great job now!

Why I play Planets? Well, I don't know many games that are so complex. For me complex games are like a challenge to the mind. I only regret that it consumes so much time. I really support any idea which will help to reduce the time needed to do a turn (without cutting off some of it's wonderful complexity)!

So, 'nough said :-)
