Hello, All.

I received this in the mail today - I don't run Trade Wars myself, but
those of you who do may be interested in this:

Subject:   Trade Wars Survey

Dear Trade Wars fan,

As we approach the 20th anniversary of the
original release of Trade Wars (December, 1986), I
am pleased to announce that I have reached an
agreement with Sylien Entertainment to develop a
long-overdue graphical remake of this classic
game.  But before we can proceed, we need your
help.  Because Trade Wars is 20 years old, I have
lost touch with all but a small percentage of its
fanbase.  Unless we can reach out to this fanbase
and prove that interest in Trade Wars still
exists, we will be unable to secure the funding
necessary to complete this project.
 
To accomplish this, we are running a small survey
to estimate the number of people who have played
or hosted Trade Wars over the years.  By answering
this one-question survey, you will enable us to
demonstrate the great potential of a new Trade
Wars project.  Nothing else will be required of
you, but if you choose, you may request to receive
a monthly Trade Wars newsletter with updates on
our progress.  And if you really want to help out,
you can complete an optional, more extensive
survey.   We would love to learn more about your
experience with Trade Wars.

The survey is located at
http://www.sylien.com/survey.php

For this effort to succeed, I need you to forward
this email to anyone who might be in contact with
a past Trade Wars player or game host.  Most of
them have been away from the game for many years,
and this is our only hope of reaching them.

Thank you for helping us to update this classic
game for a new generation of gamers!
