Yes, they are, but no, it's not out yet.  From what I've heard, the
interface is a lot like RTZ's, which means all sound and graphics and no
text.  As for whether or not it'll be better than RTZ, I sure hope so, but
with the new "Infocom," we can't be sure.  On the plus side, they've hired
some ST:TNG writers to pen the screenplay, and Steve Meretzky himself is
in charge of the game design.

Then again, Meretzky also agreed to participate in...dare I mention it?...
*cringe* Leather Goddesses of Phobos 2.  *shudder*

Whew, that was quite an effort bringing that one up.  Maybe I'd just better
lie down for awhile...
