I tried Ultima VI on a pee cee. Origin had "improved" the graphics so much, that the game was unplayable on an XT w/o a hard drive! Bottom line: Graphics are great, but the underlying game is just as important (if not more). If Ultima VI for the Amiga plays as well as Ultima V did on the pee cee, then I will buy it. If it is all graphics flash, and no substance, then forget it. > > Mike Shapiro > ms0p@andrew.cmu.edu > I don't live in fantasy; I only work there. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- These words be mine.
