Great jumpin' beans.  How the HELL could you make that into a computer
game?  Well, and have it be FUN, I mean.  What's the goal?  Kill the evil
computer that (in the story) is almost omnipotent?  Kill all your friends
before they kill you and before the computer can stop you?  Or is it a "not
it!" kind of thing where you try NOT to be the one poor sap left alive for
the computer to torment?  Or are you the computer itself, trying to torture
the last few humans before they whack one another?

Eh.  I'll stick to Alpha Centauri.
