There is a major article in the NY Times today on Devil Dice in their Circuits section. Totally positive. Suffice it to quote these lines First line: "It's better than Tetris" Last line: " Viva Devil Dice" Identifies it as "Devil Dice by THQ; for Sony Playstation; $39.95; for all ages. This may be up on the NY Times electronic edition which is free with registration, but I haven't checked yet.

As far as publically traded pure video game companies? I would say Interplay (IPLY) is in play (do not own any stock). They have a couple of good studios including VR Sports, now Interplay Sports, which could certainly add to THQ core competencies - help fill a void (a lack of sports titles - wrestling doesn't count). This is a similar situation to Microprose a few months ago - however Microprose had a better branded catalog than IPLY. Lapin was brought in for acquisition purposes and the German distributor surely wasn't it - it will be interesting to see what happens in '99 - all comments my opinion only.
