Message-ID: Date: 26 Feb 91 01:08:11 GMT Organization: ZOOiD BBS Lines: 49 All you nifty Hard Drive people out there: STOP YOUR BLOODY WHINING. Its only a game...go home and talk to your wife for a change..I bet she is more sick of lemmings than you are, and she doesn't even play it. I have been reading these posts at work (can't append to USENET without ACCESS, bah...I only read the Amiga bases and THEY wouldn't like that) and am constantly PF4ing all these whiny messages saying 'waaaa! I want my game to be able to boot on a hard drive' Lemme get this straight... the game is on only ONE disk?? I can't see there being a problem. for the extra 45 seconds or so you could easily: A. Clean up your office/room a bit B. Say hell to the kids for a change C. Get some work done around the house/office :) D. I dunno what you do with your spare time but you could be doing it, I mean, its less than a minute usually. I have a hard drive, and while it would be nice to get a good game to install on my hard drive, I WILL not petition/boycott the company if its not. Take Dungeon Master, while it can be HD installable I am told with a minor patch..I can't be bothered. I get to take some dishes upstairs and maybe wash them. I can put some paper in the recycle box, I can do all sorts of things..rewind a cassette. Wow..the possibilities are absolutely unbounded. Perhaps non-HD'able games are actually a blessing in disguise...for those who use Amigas at work, it could be a trick to increase productivity, so you can work for the time instead of instantly playing your game. Pardon this ONE long append. But reading the SAME messages OVER AND OVER again, when you people FOLLOW up, ARGH! pf4 pf4 pf4! Moriland: I can understand you problem, but when you followed up on that message by the person who wrote Amiga Lemmings and put down your views right after each of his paragraphs, well, LIKE I CARE. That message could easily have been made private, as you stated EVERYTHING you said in it before, and if I remember the message correctly, the programmer gets USENET feeds at work so I am sure he didn't need to read it again.
