  About DAS BOOT:
>want to give their opinion as to (a) how fast the game runs on a stock 68000
>(with 5MB RAM and 40 MB HD :-) and (b) whether the game is a mindless IBM
>EGA port (yech) or one that has been Amigaized.
  A) Its pretty damn slow, but can be speeded up, but gameplay is puke.
  B) Its junk, the only fun part is the AA gun on the deck, the actual
underwater sailing is stupid, you get no perspective, controls are all a
bunch of button combo's and mouse, no joystick. VERY BAD. 
>PS: I heard a novel comes with the game ("The Boat", I think).
  yep its in there, dont know cause I took it back.
