I don't hear anyone recommending those games, so I wouldn't buy
them anyway.  When I hear, "Lemmings is the most awesome game
I've ever seen!", and I go out and buy the game and then find out
I have to run it from floppy, that bothers me!

Some other bad-game manufacturers don't bother me at all.  Their
games are cruddy and I am not even interested.  On the other hand
I haven't seen a bad Psygnosis game yet (with the exception of
playability in SoB II).   

The company that I don't have ANY problem with is Accolade.  I
own Star Control, it's an awesome game, and it runs from my hard
drive.  I wouldn't hesitate to pick up one of their games because
I have not had a bad experience with them.  I WOULD hesitate to
buy another Psygnosis game, despite the awesome graphics and
sound, because I cannot use their games on my hard drive.
