As a computer gamer I find it interesting that one of the real selling points of kodp is the license. Not to be a heritic or anything, but I had never heard of Glorantha and most games based on a computer license fail as games. It's very revealing to hear people say they were familiar with Glorantha and saw it on the shelf, (or in the demo CD) and bought the game. I'm impressed with the story telling system built into kodp.

As mentioned before, times change! You might look into the disk spanning feature of most zip utilities that would allow you to break an archive over multiple floppies. 3 minutes of fooling with the interface is better than cursing the darkness.
To Barry who wrote about Frog City having trouble pitching Pantheon. You ruined my day. I was really looking forward to that one.
