On the subject of the Kaleidoscope, the latest issue of .INFO magazine
included one of their "Things We'd Like To See" columns and one of the
things mentioned was a NEW Kaleidoscope program for the Amiga. The
original, they said, was way cool when it came out, but needs
updating. I agree. With some of the really wild Euro Demos I have seen
it shouldn't be too hard to come up with a new one that would knock
some socks off. 

As for Electronic Arts, I'm pretty disgusted with them. They made this
big hype about their committment to the Amiga back in 85-86 and where
are they now? Mostly sitting around doing sub-standard ports of games
from the IBM. Occasionally they latch onto an Amiga original that does
a good job, but not very often. 

I can recall a time in my C-64 days when you bought almost ANYTHING
put out by EA. No longer true. I wish I could still play ARCHON and
ARCHON II on my 1.3 Amiga 2000. I also wish that an Amiga version of
Lords of Conquest had come out as well as Pinball Construction Set
(which was promised at the time.)

Oh well.
