   I've been an Amiga owner for a while now.  I've purchased a few games
for it, and so far there have been more slag than winners.  I just bought
Matrix Marauders by Psygnosis last week, and right now it's in the slag
pile.  I'm getting sick of shelling out 30 - 40 dollars just to get
disappointed.  The games I've purchased so far are:

   Falcon - Good game, playable (though I wish head-head over modem was fast
   Wings - I also like this game.  A bit slow with only 2 floppies, but it
           keeps me occupied. 
   Dragonstrike - Good concept, but they really didn't pull it off.  Too slow  
        for no good reason. 
      688 Attack Sub - Yawn
    ^?Stunt Track Racer - It's ok, playable, but it could use some more work.
    Future Classics - package of 5 games.  remedial.  
    Matrix Marauders - Poor documentation, I don't want to waste my time
                       trying to guess how the games work.  

   I'm more into the arcade type of games, if anyone can point me to some
games that 
   1) are playable, interesting
   2) takes advantage of the Amigas power.  I didn't by an Amiga to play
      PC-quality games. 

   I really do like my Amiga.  But these companies have to give me some
value for my money.  I'm not against paying for a good game, but I really
hate spending any amount on something that just frustrates me.  

    Does anyone know if the upcoming "Knights of the Sky" by Microprose
will have a modem link?
