I come from the games industry, and I am aware of so many more of these 
titles, too.  For instance, any game that uses Anark GameFace would have 
made use of Lua.  Any game that uses PlayFirst's Playground SDK (hit 
sellers like Diner Dash 2) use Lua.  I know of games and non-games 
companies using Lua through LuaPlus, too (although I'd have to dig 
through emails to find which ones).  Lua is a very popular language, and 
it wouldn't surprise me if the existing list grew much larger with 
shipping applications, if only it were known which ones used it.

What a complete and utter embarrassment.  <sigh>  Pathstorm is shipping 
and can be downloaded and ordered NOW.  It seems the HTML authoring 
package I use remapped these and removed the ../ I had.  They work off 
the Home page but not one level deep.  It is fixed now.  Argh.
