>A program in ROM will have bugs left in longer (or forever)...
Writes Moshe Braner.

Well, if OSS is the same distributor for Action! this will not be a problem.
There were no less than 6 different versions of Action! within a years time.
All bugs were documented, and fixes were included in a newsletter, or available
on the Action! BBS run by Clint Parker.  The support from OSS is nothing short
of wonderful, and any product which they can come out with would not have bugs
left in for a very long time.

The thing that made Action! so great was the environment which was created.  I
would have to say that using Megamax in a 640K ramdisk has the same feel as
Action!, except that Action! code was cleaner.  Still, Action! could be
produced effectively with a 128K (?) bank switched cartridge... :-)
