<<< wonder what the chances of Team 17 or Kalisto choosing MPRS to publish another one of their games - unless they already have signed>>>
Kalisto only had a two game publishing deal, Team17 had a 5 title distribution in Europe/ Publish and distribute in North America
Fasa also has a five title publishing deal


<<<Should I even entertain the idea that some of the revenues from the 100,000 copiesof M1 Tank Platoon and Ultim@te Race Pro were no recognized until this quarter?That is probably Fantasy.>>>
Revenues are recognized when the title is shipped

<<<Any thoughts as to whether it is time to bail, or should we "trust" that this is the worst, and things will get better from here.>>>
I think the worst is over...

I think a Fair cheap value for the current Mprs is about 150 million
considering they should be headed now in to positive growth...
with the titles and the 5 development studios and the distribution network in Europe...They recieve more revenue from Europe than North America..

Maxis was sold to Electronic Arts for about 125 million and had much fewer assets than Mprs
Minscape and its division SSI was just sold to the learning company for 150 million it also has less "value" assets than MPRS
The bullfrog Studio was sold for 40 milllion to Erts and that just one studio
The vultures will be diving in.:)

Out of all the companies I do think Brouderbund would make the best fit..anybody else have any ideas...
