	A friend and I had the chance to do some playing on the amiga 3000 here in
town, and found that the two games that we tried were just unplayable.  Zonx
(Its a public domain game that was posted last year.) was absolutely unplayable.
The enemies would get to your corner before you even realized that it was time 
to move.  Time bandits was only a little better.  I think that a fix is in
order.  Maybe even a program that does superflous math to slow down the 
processor, even if the program tries to take over the whole computer...  No :-).
