I SAY THEY ARE GOOD PROGRAMMERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Won't run on a 3000

WHO CARES ? Don't buy a 3000 if you are a real video game fanatic.

> won't run reliably on a number of different configurations

Really, people with a 68020 accelerator, and custom ehancements aren't people
who play much. You'd better had bought a 500 instead of this stupid
accelerator card or this stupid hard drive controller, made only for people
who use their amiga for working (BEUUUUUURK !!!!)

> can't be put on a hard  drive

WHO CARES ???????? What is the interest of putting a shot'em up on a HD ???
If you had a normal A500 configuration (2 drives, 1 meg), the custom dos
(YEAHHH ! I love custom fast dos, because I can load my games faster than all
the serious folks with expensive configurations, who can not even play the game
!!! HA ! HA ! HA !)

> can't be backed up,

I agree with you on this one.

> can't be multitasked 

I HATE MULTITASKING GAMES. When i play I don't want to do something else. Try
to make a 60 frames/second shoot'em'up multitask !!! I hate multitasking
anyway because I just bought my computer for playing and I'm sure I payed an
extra for this !@#$$%% multitasking system. I just want to play games. Forever
!!!! 

-- all of these say to me that they are LOUSY game programmers.

I love "Blood Money"
I love "The Killing Game Show"
I love "Anarchy"
I loved "Barbarian"
I loved "Obliterator"
I loved "Menace"
.....

They make real games, even if they made some errors (The Shadow of the beast 1
& 2 -> totally unplayable)

Mike Farren is too serious. He owns a too big computer for blasting the aliens
at a very hight rate, because he wants to multitask too much. He's got a too
big HD. He cannot play all these good games.

He must buy an Amiga 500, the simpliest one, buy a good joystick, and just
have fun. (And not say to himself: "If this game multitasked, I could play my
word processor at the same time !!!)
