All, Please take part in the petition to get Falcon 3.0 ported (WRITTEN) TO the Amiga. It seems I hit a raw nearve at Spectrum Holobyte. They think were're all over zealous snooty snobs that can't realize our machine is facing extinction. That comes from AXEL in the Game Publishers forum. Please keep EMailing me those names. Between CIS an GEnie and my own contacts the influx of names has been quite impressive. If nothing else we could show them how much money they stand to lose. The key is to ask friends who own Amigas also. There just isn't enough of us here on CIS or on the other systems to do it. I have begun to put fliers up at Amiga dealers and Software houses on Long Island. Only problem is there aren't that many here. Hit local BBSs' and user groups and send all names to me. One sugestion I think will really help is if you include what type of system these people have. I know this quest is far fetched. All this trouble for a stinking game ain't worth it. I, however just want to make a point. Most software publishers market games to Amiga owners thinking there isn't enough of us to buy it anyway. This is mainly an experiment because by the time we get some action out of SH, Microprose would have already released F-15III with its AGA support. Then we probably will all forget what Falcon 3.0 is. Remember if this works for Falcon, mabe it will work for LOTUS! Peter, [Flying the only way to go!] Way High On AutoPilot

Peter, The other trouble is that many game publishers who do prot games to the Amiga aree so used to going "direct to hardware" that they do it in the Amiga too. They do not take advantage of the special graphics chips in many cases, and when ADos changes versions the games break because CBM guidlines were not followed in the first place. Given those observations, I've always wondered why people still insist that the Amiga is a game machine? wmc – via Autopilot!
