That's what I was thinking ... now all I need to know is /how/ do I do it?! :) I own/play several CD ROM/online horse games if you threw them all into a blender for 20 seconds, you'd end up with a really good game, that is almost fully interactive (where the player's decisions directly affect the outcome) game that you play offline and interact with other players (to buy, sell, breed and compete horses). * batteries not included
