When will game writing software houses (such as the creators of Beast 1 and 2 
Awsome) realize that snappy graphics and sound effects are only fun once and
ruin a game with all the disk swapping, unpacking, and loading that they 
usually have. The best games for the Amiga are the simple ones such as KICKOFF 2
RICK-DANGEROUS and TURRICAN which don't require excessive loading every twenty
seconds. When will they start to write games that are fun? I suggest that
houses guilty of the above should first write their games with plain graphics
and minimal sound effects, then play them and ask themselves, is this game 
really worth playing?

		Sick of waiting for it to load!!!
