Well, I guess that these are what you would call subjective opinions. My
friends and I were impressed by Garrison, but what the hey. I think you may
change your mind if you play with it for a while...

But it doesn't matter, because I recently saw Gauntlet on the Atari ST and it
looked REALLY sharp. So if they do their job right it should look better still
on the Amiga, given 32 colors and faster graphics, not to mention the sound.
Something to really look forward to for Gauntlet fans, and forget about this
buggy stuff like Garrison. I have little respect for people who can do nice
graphics but can't keep the thing from crashing every five minutes... Nice to
demo maybe, but don't try to sell it to people.

Don't hold your breath though. It appears that almost all of the hot new games
that were due out for Christmas are going to be late. Waaaahhhhh!!!!
