Dear Fellow Amigaites:

I just spoke with Ken Homer at Psygnosis regarding the 68010/20/30
compatibility of their games and hard disk installation. He says:

"The three A-3000 compatible games we have on the market now are the Killing
Game Show, Spellbound, and Matrix-Marauders. Most of our development (for
now) is completed, so we won't be seeing any new ones soon."

He requested the ALL AMIGANS that want turbo/A-3000 compatibility write him
at:

PSYGNOSIS (pronounce sig-NO-sis)
29 Saint Mary's Court
Brookline, MA. 02146.

The Britons are responsible for Psyg's horrendous CP schemes. His own
feelings were that they're much more closed-minded about compatibility than
those of us in the States - they're mostly worried about the best copy
protection razzle-dazzle.

While you're at it, make a pitch for HD-installability and a shift over to
manual copy-protection. (as EA and Cinemaware are doing). Suggest wording
on their packages singing the praises of their future A3000/WB 2.0/Hard
Disk-Installable software. Others will follow!
