Sounds good. My copy of Metropolis is badly cut, about 84 minutes IIRC. (I don't think there are any full-length versions left.) If Die Nibelungen is the one I'm thinking of, it's a real classic; I think I have it. The other two I'm not familiar with.

Pirates! sounds interesting, too. I've enjoyed all of Sid Meier's games that I've tried (although the latest version of Civilization seems a little too complicated). (I've played Civilization vv. 1, 2, and 3, Colonization, and Alpha Centauri.)

Hmm. Do you have the one with the rock opera score that came out in the 80's? :) I'm betting the version of Metropolis in the boxed set is the "Restored Authorized Edition" that clocks in at 124 minutes. Or at least I'm hoping it is.

"Pirates" is one of those games I meant to pick up when I was just getting into computer games, but never did. Pirates 2 looks like it's going to preserve the basics of game play from the original, but be much more flexible and prettier. I'm just hoping ship-to-ship combat is fun. I've been looking for a playable Age-of-Sail combat sim for a while now and I've been coming up short (I wish someone would make a new version of The Ancient Art of War at Sea).

I think that's the one, yes.
