If you buy Thompson's endgame CDs they will cost something like $65 / 115 DM.
That means that you're actually paying $49 / 83 DM for the Shredder3 engine.
If you don't have Thompson's 4 CDs and you want them - Shredder3 will be a good
buy. If you already have these CDs or if you don't want them, well...
