I just bought LSL III, solved it over a weekend, and then composed a
really critical letter to Sierra-On Line pointing out that I owned an
Amiga computer, expected the programs I buy to realise this fact.  I do
not expect EGA graphics that are so poorly programmed that Larry often
takes ages to flicker his way across a screen, nor do I expect sound
that would make a VCS programmer blush.

I urge all other Amiga owners (and Mac owners, and ST owners etc) to do
the same when they find a game like this: tell the company as firmly as
possible that their games did not meet your standards of presentation,
and that you purchased an Amiga (or PC, or Mac): not a PC clone.

I await their answer, but I do not really expect one.
