  What games are you all working on?  What do you like and dislike about the
current crop of games available (both Yaroze and commercial) and in what
ways can we craft a new, superior generation of games?

  It seems to me that there's been a lot of talk about various programming
techniques and graphics, but little about higher-level things or game
design.  I--and I suspect many others--are at the point where I'm
comfortable enough with the system to attempt a real project.  I've also
spent this last weekend playing Hover Racing (thx James\mrfrosty for the
pointer--the game rocks!) and think that for those of us in the West, the
'they had it first' excuse is starting to lose validity.

  I'll follow this shortly with a description of what I've been doing, and
games I'm working on in various states of incompleteness, with most more
incomplete than not; but it's late and I've problem sets due on the morrow.
