This is for me a most wonderful moment. I loved MicroProse and always vouched for the company. I once had a great conversation with "Wild Bill" when I unknowingly called just after they had closed for the day with a question about my copy of F-15 Strike Eagle. Bill answered the phone and answered my question and we went on to talk about our love of flying.

I still own most of the games I originally purchased and have maintained legacy computers to play them or run them on emulators where necessary such as the Commodore 64 or Amiga. I have the Falcon 4.0 copy including the huge three-ring binder owner's manual.

I truly wish them all the best and will be eagerly waiting for their new titles. Many of the old games would be amazing with today's hardware. I can't get over the news.
