     C'mon.. PM does not have "really fast" graphics or 55KHz "real sound" so
why (Other than CP reasons) does it take over my Amiga?? Perhaps SOTB(I and II)
need to do Copper tricks to look INCREDIBLE, but PM does, at most, Zoom IN/OUT
and rotate the map. Not particularly fast.

    If the reason is the game logic I MIGHT forgive them (I have seen control
logic for Operation Com Bat and "The New And Improved Tele-Epic" -- Large and
memory intensive.. Yuck!) but, for that memory reason Tele-Epic II will be
a 1M game. The market should be able to support that MINIMAL requirement with
a 512K Expansion in the 50-70.00 range. (At least Merit hopes it will :-) )
