I almost did once, but I couldn't find a good way to implement it,
plus I didn't want Willy hopping between countries so much.
However "The Man Who Sold the World" has a couple of screens dedicated
to the New York Subway system (and plenty of country hopping). I've
also restarted work on this game and hopefully providing I can get
time at the computer within' the next few months I may finally get the
first part of "The Dark Quadrology" out there. I basically say time at
the computer because after almost 6 months of not working and getting
fat in the land of the perpetual cheeseburger, I finally recieved e-
mail confirmation from the US Government that my work permit has been
approved and is winging it's way to me in the next 30 days :)
