It was obviously a straight port that did not use the blitter or any of the advanced sound features at all. All the early Psygnosis games were crap. Nice graphics, but slow. But I have to give Psygnosis credit. They sure have improved. Have you seen Menace? One of the best arcade games I have ever seen. Fast scrolling scenery, smooth animation, great sound and awesome graphics make this one for the books. I have not seen the releases version of Beast but I saw a version of it at AmiExpo Chicago and it looked *better* than anything I have seen in the arcades. ------- +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | "Man, is an endangered species" - Terl _Battlefield Earth_ | | IMS103@PSUVM.BITNET (Ian Smith) L Ron Hubbard | +--------------------------------------------------------------+
