I also bought SH's version after having seen the Mac version, which I
liked.  I was really disappointed by the amiga version.  SH didn't even
bother to make a new booklet.  They include the Mac book and a single
sheet of changes for the amiga.  I have only played it twice (once to see
it myself, and once to show it to friend.)  It's too much of a bother to
run.  I can't even make a backup.  SH wants $10 and then they will send
me a backup.  I'd much rather play Obsess (or any of the other PD
games).  It's a much better game and also much more convenient.
