It's too little too late.  When Falcon 1.0 came out for the
Macintosh, I thought Spectrum Holobyte would have a great future
creating nice simulations for Macs.  They have placed the Mac in
their back burners for too long to venture into the Amiga and IBM
markets to win me over again.  I wish Spectrum Holobyte well in
their future ventures, 'cuz if I were proficient in 68K assembly
and want to program games for the Macintosh, they would be the
last company >I< want to work for.  How could one be assured
their work won't get cancelled so a non-Mac version could be
brought out to market first?  It took them over--what--3 years to
bring Vette! out.  The ads started to look dull after the first
year--I was amazed to see beta version 1e100 during this year's
MacWorld Expo.  [SuperFamicom would be the way to go if you want
nice games (you've gotta check out F-Zero and Pilot Wings).]

Ooh, I better put on my flame suit.

Ken
