Which I am sure you will do anyway :) To me, I would most likely use it because it is the latest, thats if there was not so many bugs and I think the engine has not been written into the interface to obtain its engine power. CM6K I think is a stronger program, even though its suppose to be the same engine. Make sure you mention in your review that the kiddy features seem to come through more since the take over of Mindscape from Matel :( Just make sure you also mention that although the interface is crappy, which you will find, that the engine is one of the top in the world, if you take away those four programs on the SSDF played on stronger hardware. See how CM6K tops the 200MMX hardware. Makes it No1.
