     Hooray!
     Apparently, I am not the only person that loves the ending to this 
game.  I think it is really the best ending there has ever been in a 
computer game, with graphics, or without.  Most of the time, endings are 
just glossed over and are not integral parts of the game that went 
before.  But what makes the AMFV ending special is that it is just as 
much a part of the game as any of the other parts.  A spectacular ending 
to a spectacular game.
     Hmm...I agree with you about The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, 
and felt kind of the same about the ending to Suspended.  But, I think a 
weaker ending in that case is forgivable, given what you have to put up 
with in order to get to it!  <big grin>
     <sigh>  There are times I wish it was 1981 again...
