~Letter's Page

Right I get loads of letters everyday from punters wanting cheats
on this, hints on that but some of you do actually ask me for
something different in your letter, so as before I've compiled
a brief package of your letters and how I reply.  If you have
anything you'd like to ask me (or anybody who writes for Cheet
Sheets), then drop me a line at the normal address....



What are your views on the state of modern games ?  I only ask
because it strikes me that game producers are going overboard on
presentation, and memory gobbling (Wing Comander 3 for example).
After all who can afford to upgrade their machines by a few dozen
Mbyte's whenever a new Origin game is produced, which all magazines
reckon that life would not be worth living without.

Well Origin's name has cropped up many a times, concerning high-end
games.  I'm sure they have shares in the Memory and Motherboard
business.....   The main reason in my mind is that this is down to
simply that the programmers use these high-end machines (Pentium's
with 32Mbytes of RAM, Video cards with loads of memory, etc..) to
write the games on and probably find it too time consuming to it
down and rewrite it for Joe Bloggs who owns a 386 with 4Mbytes of
memory....  Generally speaking though I'm sure they do lose a lot
of sales due to these high-spec games, just look at the sales of
X-Wing for instance, nothing super needed to run this, but if you
needed a 486 with 8Mbytes of memory I'm sure it would have even
sold quarter of what it did in 93 !!!
