I find it amazing to hear some of my same complaints about Electronic
Arts being echoed by someone who worked for them. I can remember back
when I bought my Amiga in early 86 how EA was ranting on about how it
was the future and they were committed to it. I want to know what
happened to that committment. Programs that were promised at the
beginning never showed (Pinball Construction Set, among others) and
only a few titles have been worth talkin about. F/A-18 was one of
their best and Deluxe Paint was their other good one as well. Beyond
that I can't name many exceptional EA titles except for those from
companies such as Bullfrog who wrote their stuff either from the ST or
the Amiga.

It's a shame too, back in my days of the C-64, I bought ANY game that
EA brought out for the C-64. I was that certain I would like it and I
was rarely disappointed. EA was my favorite game maker. Can't say the
same of them anymore.
