   I just heard that Midnight Games had been sold to a customer (a rich one,
   I guess) who was "unhappy with their service", and presumably intends to
   do something about it.

Was my leg being pulled, or has MG really been sold?  Is Jim Landes still
   on board, or has he cashed out?

I don't know about this rich customer thing, but they sent out a flyer
with the last turn saying

On September 22, 1993, formalities were concluded which allowed
Midnight Games to become a wholly owned Division of Fantasy Express
Transport, Inc.  [blah, blah, blah, omitted]  Jim Landes, Founder of
Midnight Games, will continue to lead the design team while at the
same time providing support for existing software production

Another sheet describes some rules changes.  AA spell creation has
been essentially abolished.  Runemaster creation of items has been
suspended.  There are also some new (and friendlier) customer service
policies.  Anyone ever heard of this Fantasy Express company????
