And amazingly, the Lynx was designed by the same guys that designed the
AMIGA!!!  Also there is a rumor about the LYNX, that one needs an AMIGA
to PROGRAM the dang thing!!!(Don't know if this is true, but I kind of

I agree with the rest of what Ian says, though I've never played a Sierra
Game, just seen several in store windows...
