I no longer work for Microprose, but my understanding is that the Avalon Hill line-up was placed under the management of Microprose, which is a sub-division of Hasbro Interactive, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hasbro, Inc.

So, its even uglier than Carl had imagined. And, that bottom head must be pretty decrepit and confused by now. (Assuming that it was sane to begin with). I *really* like the image though, and wish it had occurred to me while I still work there.

Thanks David.
