A call to you nerds out there

how many of you have seen Artemis? Its a starship bridge simulator, and I want it, I want it now

to play you need 6 people. and 6 computers one of which needs either a huge screen or better yet a projector, each of the 6 people take on a role, coms, weapons, engineering, helm, science and captain, 


Everyone apart from the captain gets a computer, you station shows the information relevant to your role, the captains job is to sit in the middle and lead with the 6th station runnig the main view and the main bulk of the game

I saw this in its planning stage a while back and though it was cool but details at the time were vague and it looked very much like a simple concept, now today i hit upon it again and the videos I have seen are  a delight.

clubbing together to get a game of this working wont cost the earth with all 6 players chipping in for the $40 price tag (or even the free demo) a lot of fun could be had for a little outlay as everyone will already have a PC to cart along or a laptop, and these days large LCD TVs are everywhere for the main screen
