   A *VERY* big disapointment! How can they take so long and *STILL* produce
   code that looks like it was done in a couple of months?

   Surely you jest! Ultima is one of the games I was hoping Origin would do a
   good job of for the Amiga (since they MUST know by now that III & IV sucks)
   If they can do as good a job for the IBM version why can't they do so for 
   the Amiga one? I'm sure it can be done!

   Neither am I and I will tell as many people as I can *NOT* to buy it. 
   I think that is the most effective way to tell Origin that we don't like
   what they are doing.

   I am *NOT* buying the IBM version since that will promote it on another
   platform.

   Support Amiga friendly games!!!
