Well, I've managed to unearth a copy of Space:1889 at a gaming store in San Jose, and I have to say I like the idea. It's simple to use and seems to have a lot of potential. Any thoughts on why it never caught on? Are there any other enthusiasts out there? If so, have you read _Lord Kelvin's Machine_ by James P. Blaylock?

It had the bad luck to come out as most of the gaming wenies wanted DARK FUTURE, CYBERTRASH games. You can see how this boring trend has destroyed the Third Imperium. For all the details, see the book "Boot up, Jack in, Drop out, chummer", IISBN Number 8347-92847982-92874398243-98234, published by Regina House 1129. > Are there any other enthusiasts out there?
