Fantastic Simulations hit major problems a few years ago after buying
the rights to Battletech and then having problems with the game when
they released it as a PBM.

Cash flow as memory serves.

The owners (who's name I forget) sold the rights a year or so back to
Jean somebody who started FM up again (I got a letter telling me I
really should start playing it again).

According to a recent Flagship it's till running, still using the
Fantastic Simulations name with an address of POB 1288-R, Englewood, CO
80150 so I assume it's still running.

Haven't played again myself. I've stopped playing US games which don't
have Email access, too much like hard work :-)

Pity really, it's a good game. I played in a dozen or so games in the
mid 80's
