Guess I'll sell my Amiga and Genesis and get me one of those
excellent IBM game machines.   

I've played my share of video games. I have played new games
on the IBM. VGA or no VGA, the bottom line is that games on the
IBM are inferior. With some insane assembly programming, it's
possible to do a good job, but in general games on the IBM
are slower, uglier, and sound like farts.

If things like fast smooth scrolling graphics and stero sound
don't appeal to you, then IBM's do make find game machines.
I used to own a pc clone, now it sits at home by itself in
the corner. Poor thing.
