Hi everyone,

I've uploaded a new release of my Windows (.NET) RL, you can find it at:

Enjoy,

DISCLAIMER
---------------------------------------------------------------
This game currently only runs on Windows with .NET installed. I'm
not trying to convert anyone to MS. I'm not interested in your
favorite OS or how it kicks Windows ass. I don't want to hear your
opinion on Bill Gates or his evil plan for world domination. 

If you want to tell me my game sucks, that's fine. At least then
you'll be on topic. 

If you hate Microsoft in general, .NET or me in particular, then 
this probably is NOT the game for you.

If you already have .NET installed, or you're interested in 
checking it out regardless, then please give HA! a try.
