- While I wouldn't claim that the A1200 runs every available piece of
- software (particularly games), it surely runs almost any Amiga application.
- Include here all paint packages, desktop publishing, illustration programs,
- multimedia programs, etc. Yes, it's got a significant advantage over
- the FALCON. And BTW, I know of more than 30 games that run on the A600.

-
- Psygnosis and Ocean have pledged support for the AGA. There is another
- company that also pledged support for the AGA. AT LEAST Psygnosis and
- OCEAN are MAJOR entertainment software companies.... Psygnosis ALONE
- is an EXCELLENT MAJOR GAME COMPANY... a company that have dropped ST
- support in some of their games...
-
- So, I don't know about what the Falcon can claim, but at least on the
- Amiga part of the statement, yes, major entertainment software producers
- have pledged support.

- I suggest that you read signatures before replying.... the guy above
- seems to work for an entertainment software company and I think that
- he knows better.

- BLAME ATARI, they deserve it.
