Sean, And I don't want to seem rude or unfriendly either, but I've had the opportunity to play with a '030 50 Mhz Amiga as well as the latest '486 machines. I don't know about Harpoon but general use gave me the impression of 'The Tortoise and the F-15.' Consider that the Amiga 1000 is rather dated, and the '486 is considered state-of-the-art (Mostly by those who don't know any better 8) Also consider that high end IBM-type stuff at the time when Amiga was new was the XT. Now, if you compared your 1000 to an XT I think you'd find that Harpoon's playability on the Amiga astounding realative to the XT. Clock speed comparisions between different CPU's is just about meaningless. I know from personal experience that a 680X0 running at the same clock speed as a comparable 86X86 generally makes the Intel based chips seem brain damaged. Doug
