Hey, at least you had the decency and concern to ask! That's much more than
can be said for many Amiga games, that, usually because of copy protection,
have to be the boot disk, and thereby take over the entire machine.



If your game does allow multitasking and you can switch back to the workbench
with some sort of button (as you suggested in your article) then that's 
ok (at least by me), and much more than is offered by many other games.
