I would have prefered designs which focused on one thing, and didn't try to

(...) Really? I love Divers, but I was disappointed by the set designs. Not that the models were bad, they were very good. There was too much repetition between the sets. Too many nearly-identical submersibles. Too many SPUD[1] rafts. Almost every (...) (25 years ago, 23-Sep-99, to lugnet.people, lugnet.town)
