Like populus? The amiga is capable of doing more than the PC. The rest is up to the programmer. I really enjoyed FALCON AT on my IBM, and I know what you mean, but I feel if someone took advantage of the ECS and a 68030, the 15ms access harddrive, a simmulator game would be wonderful. >PC is better for playing such games, because almost all PC:s have hard disk, >so multiload games are more fun to play (or do anyone play Ultima VI >with 7 DD disks?), and almost any game can be installed to hard disk. >Simulators are also faster (of course if one has a fast PC). More and more software is HD installable (sp?), although I agree with you. that was mentioned in my comment.
