Good to know! On a more serious note, I was 17 when the whole thing started. It was very exciting, even sitting at home in Europe, thousands of kilometers away. I was refreshing the live feeds on the Guardian website every couple of minutes, expecting it to blow up at any moment. For someone in the crowd to start shooting back, for the army to massacre 100 people, for the whole thing to go up in flames.

It never did, and for that, I salute the Egyptian people. I admire the fact that Egyptians could protest more or less peacefully and bring down an old strongman. I admire the fact that the army did not start killing Egyptians, like it did in Libya and Syria.

Things might not be great, or even good now - with Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood - but your country isn't tearing itself apart with guns and bombs. Congratulations!

A follow-up question. Are you still involved in activism? Do you attend protests against the MB, or take part in any political events?

Cheers!

Aw Joe, say it ain't so!

Can't remember Dune II. But I was 8 or 9 when I first played E:BFD. Still the game of my childhood. Of my life!

And you know what? You guys made the only game that can't be cracked! Those 4 CD's, you know... When my copy of E:BFD broke/disappeared (as these things do after moving houses, countries, etc.), and when torrents came along, I downloaded Emperor damn quick.

But I can't play the campaigns. And those were THE BEST!

I don't know if you worked on E:BFD, of course. But still - thanks for being part of the company that made my childhood.

Couple of questions: Why are the licensing hurdles extremely difficult? Who owns them?

Second: Where can I get myself a copy of E:BFD? :D Thanks!

Edit: Nevermind the second question, I see that there are still copies floating around on Amazon. :)
