Why don't you say: I've bought the first game ever published by Psygnosis for the Amiga, it was bad, so I concluded that they will only make bad games forever. I conclude that you are not very intelligent. Psygnosis has made plenty of wonderful games since Barratacas, which was really bad. They proved they knew how to write good games. People conplain about their protections schemes, not about the quality of their games. Look: Barbarian, Obliterator: good in their time Blood Money, Menace : " Anarchy, Killing Game Show: good now Lemmings : one of the best game available today Obitus: I've been told it is excellent Shadow of the Beast 1 and 2: Very pretty games, but terrible playability I loved many of these games. I've been really disappointed by the Shadow of the Beast serial, but in any case I could say that Psygnosis was stealing my money. Many people should criticize other companies that write real bad games, like US GOLD, sometimes OCEAN, sometimes other companies, but Psygnosis do its best to make the best games. Sometimes they are too ambitious like with Shadow of the beasts, but generally they make games that are fun to play, which uses the amiga hardware, with nice graphics and music. ANd their last games were all very playable. I bought Lemmings, The Killing Game Show, Anarchy, and they are all excellent games. -- ------------------------------------------ Michel Buffa: Projet Robotvis, INRIA, France Internet: buffa@sardaigne.inria.fr Surface Mail: Michel BUFFA, INRIA - Sophia Antipolis, 2004, route des Lucioles, 06565 Valbonne Cedex -- FRANCE Voice phone: (33) 93.65.78.39, Fax: (33) 93 65 77 65 ------------------------------------------
