it as well. We feel with this new release of TOAW III that the TOAD team has
done it again to provide the maximum playability for all TOAW III fans.”

great game like TOAW III right out of the box, but to also encourage and support

user-created scenarios and equipment files make the game more enjoyable and keep
the community strong, we’re all for it.”
