- The reason why PC graphics are so horrible is the sloppinest of the
- programers. You'll find that some games for the PC are starting to set the
- standard of how games can be programmed (take a look at Maximum Overkill,
- SNES can't even try to make something that looks that good, but then, that
- needs memory, at least 4 megs to run). Also, SNES has a good graphics chip
- inside, while PC's have to basicly rely on emulators to do most of the
- graphics movements. Though with a good computer, there doesn't exist that
- much of a problem. As 386 is now the standard for good software, expect
- better games to be programmed.
