I would be very interested in a free Maelstrom. I have logged many fun
hours with this program. :) Anyone want to champion the cause? Arcade
games aren't a big priority, though, and non-free ones even less so. So
I'm wondering whether we shouldn't draw the line here and not list it. On
the flip-side, if nobody is willing to take on this cause at the moment, I
suppose we could list it along with our comments about what needs to be
done to free it as an incentive for someone to take up the cause ... It's
late at night and I am as yet undecided about this. Let me think about
it.
