Boy Amiga programmers better > get their ass in gear coz this game is hot. It also needs 4 megabytes of hard disk space to play.. I bought it because I was blown away by the demo.. It supports Roland sound card too, which is supposed to be extremely good, but I only have a Soundblaster. It would be good on the Amiga (wouldn't need such a souped up machine because of the graphics coprocessor) but I wonder how many people would buy it because surely it would need at least 4 disks.. well, the disks keep getting better. It's not the first good PC game, Railroad Tycoon is good, Stellar 7 is quite amazing, etc. Problem is that these games need a fast machine.
