- Keywords: BLAZEMONGER II has 900 MHz screen updates

- Where are the 2.0 ROMs? Simple -- I have them. All of them. I've
- had them since CBM started making them 4 years ago. Yes, it's true: 2.0
- has been finished for FOUR YEARS. Developers have been shipped old versions
- (cleverly named things like "2.04") to throw you off the track.
-
- Why is Commodore lying to you? Because they HATE THEIR CUSTOMERS.
- In fact, every morning at precisely 9:00am, all CBM employees stand at
- attention and perform "Customer Hate" exercises, such as tearing up
- warrantee cards and flinging live weasels through plate-glass windows.
- Nobody is really sure what the weasels are for, but it somehow sets the mood
- JUUUUST right.
-
- But I have decided to violate my non-disclosure agreement (shhhh) to
- tell you these important facts. Hell, here's another fact: 2.0 will NEVER
- be available for the Amiga 400. What? You didn't even know there was going
- to be an Amiga 400? It's got an 6800 CPU, 1 KB RAM, 50 KB external hard
- drive, 4,618,911 joystick ports (perfect for playing the latest version of
- BLAZEMONGER), and a new technological breakthrough: "reinterlaced" video,
- for people who own 2 VCR's.
-
- Now, don't you feel better?
