Actually, they are re-writing it to allow the Amiga's animation capabilities to be used to full effect for the game. They expect the Wing Commander Amiga version to be out sometime in the fall. They were quit enthusiastic about making the Amiga version and were actually hiring new programmers specifically to make games on the Amiga. %g __ %g |__) _ __ %wGEnie: R.EARL4 %g | \ (_) (_/ %wUsenet: roger_earl@outbound.wimsey.bc.ca %g _/
