<<<This is something everybody here needs to understand. A big (not mega) hit in
Windows games might sell a million copies. If MPRS got 10 bucks of that per copy,
that would be 10 million dollars, half a quarter's burn rate. That means they need at
least 4 of these a year to break even, if they also kept up the sales levels of the less
popular products. >>>>

10 dollars per copy for worms just in Europe, they are acting
just as the distributor,

With their own titles they should have gross margins of around 60%
(in fiscal 1997 they were on average 60.8%)
On a $50 copy of their own game they should take in anywhere
from $30-$35 a copy
