As I said in an earlier post, EA (which originally made a big deal about
supporting the Amiga--and they did give us the IFF standard) has been
giving us the short shrift lately. STARFLIGHT was a disaster--still a great
game, but a TERRIBLE port (Micro Magic should be sweeping floors or doing
Mac ports or something--NEVER should they be doing Amiga ports EVER AGAIN!).
The only good stuff from EA lately has been all imported from Blighty
(IMPERIUM (the only problem with this one is that I (blush) can't figure
out what the %$%^$ to do after the first turn...), POPULOUS (and the upcoming
POWER MONGER (can't wait!), etc.)...they haven't put out anything of their
own lately that's been nearly as good as, say ARCTICFOX, which is 4 years
old...
        Although I had dropped my estimation of MicroProse after the
miserable port of GUNSHIP and the straight C64-port of KENNEDY APPROACH,
after PIRATES!, all is forgiven, as long as they keep enhancing their
ports. I'm QUITE eager to see what RAILROAD TYCOON looks like on a REAL
computer...
