	I sure noticed.  Considering the Amiga was originally going to be
exclusively a game-machine, there really should be more of these.

I got really sick of this one.  The jukebox drove me nuts.  Maybe it would
be better with digitized sound.

	Here are my favorites I'd like to see.

**** 	Star Wars	Atari?		coin-op
I admit it, I'm still addicted to this one!
**** 	Out Run		Sega?		coin-op
*****	Space Harrier	Sega		coin-op
This one is the most hallucinagetic game around.  The Easter Island heads are
my favorite part.
****	Lode Runner	Br0derbund	Apple
It was a fun game.

	Hey Leo, and everyone else, if you start writing some more arcade
games for the Amiga, it would be really nice if they were Multitasking.  
Sometimes you just want to take a break from hacking or work processing, and
nuke a few alien worlds, without rebooting the machine!
