- BTW. I tried Bad Mood on my new TV yesterday and I must say that it looked jsut great.
- Even better than I thought it would and it isn't to bad to reduce the resolution on a
- TV. You can't hardly see any difference between high res and low res and in low res
- it _realy_ flies. :-)

- This sounds just great. So we are going to get 16 bit sound? Cool and making
- everything an option is great and very good as there are as many different
- falcons out there as where are falcons (almost).
-
- It sounds like you have it all made up already. Maybe we can expect a beta after
- the summer? One thing though... we need some code to trigger (enemies/weapons,
- activating of triggers etc.) the samples too! :-)
