Many thanks for the warning. I don't buy software very often and it was on my
list of programs to buy. Initially my list for my little nephews was:

Carmageddon

Carmageddon: Splat Pack
http://www.gamesdomain.com/gdreview/zones/reviews/pc/jan98/splat.html

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
http://www.gamesdomain.com/gdreview/zones/reviews/pc/may03/GTA_Vice_City.html

Lara Croft: The Bitch is Back Pack
(to be released in early 2004)

Majestic Chess

Now however, having been alerted to the potential spiritual harm Majestic Chess
may bring, it has been removed. Thank you.
