Absolutely not. We are just showing crossfire this year. It's very popular
game and easy to learn.

But I will be bringing, Civ, and Myth as well. We have talked about doing
netrek, but the nuances of the game are more then most people are willing to
learn.

I also like Crossfire because it's developed in the open source model, which
shows a good game can be developed via open source.
