If you really want something to complain about, let them know that none
of their software works with a 68010. This is really obnoxious because
their grind-the-drive protection doesn't allow Deci-gel to be used.

I'm getting rather tired with the games that Psygnosis has released. All
of look very nice, but the game play on all of them is rather slow and
tedious. They would be nice games if there was some snap in their
response, but the joystick seems to be connected to the program via a
bowl of mush.
