Well, there are nuances to those values I didn't have room for; a knight is usually worth a bit less than a bishop, for instance, and all values depend on the game and fluctuate wildly according to many strategic and positional factors.

I only made Other Games about a year ago - someone in 2k PR/marketing led me on before disappearing.  I wish I knew how to get arrested with those jokers - and that they'd figure out that cheesing off a venue, however small, is a very bad idea.

They're only trying to draw traffic to the 2k boards anyway I bet.

I've worked free media marketing, and THEY'RE DOING IT WRONG.

Now you're doing it wrong.  They haven't released a Sid game in -what?- eight or nine years?

No, not even technically - it was a junior developer team (who prefer CivRev ;goofy;) that made it.

I found copies with the diagrams embedded as images in both Word and Works formats, so I've added the attachments to the OP.
