There is not even one good arcade game, only >boring simulations that are better on the Amiga. If the price to pay is copy >protection, I accept it. IBM and MAC are not good for gaming. The IBM is not a bad machine for games. The amiga should be better and could be but when games are ported to the amiga from the IBM they tend to suck. F19 stealth is a so-so port from the IBM version. Pirates was much better on the Amiga. Red Storm Rising is better on the Amiga. Gunship wasnt as good. M1 tank platoon was mediocre. >-I bought my amiga in 1986 and never had any problem with my drives.

I havent played part 1 very much but after seeing 2, i cant bear to see 1.
