- I suggest you read comp.sys.amiga.games. Psygnosis are continually flamed

- The guy who wrote that article is a notorious bigot and flamer. Yes, he does
- work for a programming team - a team that refuses to support anything other
- than Amigas, I believe. Obviously they are totally reliant on hardware to do
- the hard work for them.
