Message-ID: Date: 15 Feb 91 22:44:46 GMT Organization: Chemical Engineering, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 18 To be honest, I'm getting sick of everyone complaining about "When is Wing Commander coming out for the Amiga" or "Sim Earth...when?" I think many of you forget the fact that most of the good games made for the amiga AREN'T ported to them. Games like Turrican never show up on other systems, or are not nearly as good. Maybe a little more emphasis on games made for the amiga would be good for the community. After all, why should we buy a game from Orgin (Wing Commander) so they can take that money and put it into another IBM game that will be poorly ported to the amiga. I dare say you don't see IBM users wondering when good Amiga games are going to show up on their IBM's. Try to imagine the two best games of the year so far, Speedball II and Lemmings, on an IBM. Makes me laugh. So lets see some "When is Turrican II coming out" rather than "Wing Commander" or some such thing . Support companies like Psygnosis (they are finally geting better) Rainbow Arts, Bullfrog, Image- works, and countless others to continue to make games on the amiga. It has seemed to me the BEST amiga games are made ON the amiga FOR the amiga. Ryan Newman student :(
