Yes, I do use the 8-bit just for games (and the kid's sort-of educational
games). While it could no doubt do more, my IBM-AT not only is compatible with
the machines at the office, it's the only one I have desk space for! We like
several types of games, depending on who you were to ask. Things like Ancient
Art of War and Where in the USA is Carmen San Diego get as much as Shamus,
Jaybird, MIner 2049er, and Missile Command (mixing up the computers here). I
bought the Atari 400 just to get Missile Command, and I'm on the verge of
buying the AM*GA just to get Marble Madness, but I'm trying to be sure I'm not
making a mistake.
I notice that the technical specs on the Amiga seem to be generally better than
for the ST: number of colors possible, type of sound, etc… is anyone willing
to say that these things aren't in g{neral better to have if available and
within the budget? Or that the potential hasn't actually paid off in better
games or programs?
