Which does not mean that Mr  Garriott doesn't know anything about
Hawkwind (in particular) or space-rock (in general).

I love "Stones"! It's a fine piece of music. The real person is a friend
of
Richard Garriot's (I can't recall the name in the moment, sorry).

Hurray! The Ultima-series is the best concerning entertainment software.

I have. I played all the parts, beggining with part I to nr. VIII.
Although nr. 8 seemed to be "Super-Mario"-like, instead of being
a good RPG.
I think I have to look out for number 9!
