- Well, that's just the programmer taking the easy way out. Too bad
- really as obviously he was half-way there. Apparently, what happens
- is most of these programmers design everything based on the PAL-
- display and it's all hard-coded in so, resizing everything for NTSC
- (which would be necessary for an OS-programmed game or
- whatever, unless they opened a scrollable screen) would be too much
- trouble...

- > I have not seen any such problems in PAL Amos games,

- Fair enough... I've seen games with garbled displays both because of
- NTSC-mode as well as running on an AGA-machine... BUT, I know
- this is not AMOS's fault as I have seen the same thing with
- games written in other languages.

- Well, I agree... I'd say if they would just do anything to support NTSC
- (and we try to fully utilize PAL as well), it would be a BIG step in the
- right direction. Certainly a bit more acceptable than just quitting the
- program...

- Personally, I've never given it any thought, but that's probably due
- to the fact that I never realized monitors caused hemorrhoids!!
