I'm not sure I understand the question. There is only one SOM computer
game, and the only one you can get from the company is the current
version of that game. In fact, you *have* to get the most up-to-date
version if you want to ensure that it works with all your player cards.

Other list members are far more qualified than I to say what's
interesting about the computer game, but I'll weigh in anyway. The
most "interesting" aspect of the game I've noticed is that its "help"
system doesn't work with Vista. This is of course a common problem
with computer programs that were designed to work with Windows'
pre-Vista "help" system. But considering that SOM's computer game
requires an expensive upgrade every year, I find this bug inexcusable.
The programmers' priority shouldn't be tweaking HAL; it should be
implementing a "help" system that works on the current version of
Windows. Duh.
