     I really don't think they're leaving the computer market since
they are planiing to release...are you sitting down...13 titles for
1990, Amiga format. I think you read and misunderstood the credits on
your manual for Beast by the '2' programmers saying they may give-up
due to piracy. Incidently, they , these 2, are working on one of the
future releases of Psygnosis. This does by no way mean the company is
deteriorating. Companies that have fallen to buyout though are:

                            Mindscape...to some unknown
                           CinemaWare...to EA
Oh well, life goes on.
