Joe, I believe the Amiga's best potential markets is multimedia, desktop video, interactive television and embedded systems (i.e. ATMs). It requires less capital to compete in this market and the rewards are greater. The game market may have been the Amiga's most successful foray, but no longer. Indeed, with the game platform manufacturers coming out with new systems, the highly competitive games market and low profitability (except in volume), its not worth it. Noticed how many of the UK based Amiga game developers have either been bought-out or merged into other software companies? Something to be said about Amiga game development experience. It improves the quality of games on other platforms! What a Catch-22. Sigh. Regards, John Chang
