Too true Ron.  If they had given credit to Eon and called it an adaptation
of Cosmic Encounter, perhaps Cosmic Ice, that would be one thing.  I for one
would have thought that it was a fine tribute to this well loved game.   I
would have been keen on trying it out and given it two thumbs up for a good
adatpation..

But as is sits it gets two thumbs way down.  This was totally uncool.
