Well, it appears that Spectrum Holobyte can be added to the list of companies
that consider the Amiga lower than a whale turd.

Their latest disaster, FALCON, exemplifies their "Screw The Amiga" attitude.

Specifically, FALCON does NOT function on *ANY* 68020-equipped Amiga.

Not the 2500.

Not the A500 with a CSA 68020 card.

Not the A1000 equipped with a Ronin Hurricane card.

Not the A1000 equipped with a CSA 68020 card.

Not the A2000 with a 68020 card.

Yes, I've checked them all.

Cretins.

3 1/2 years ago the Amiga Programming Guidelines were first issued re:
processor compatibilty.

And today, companies like Spectrum Holobute STILL thumb their noses at the
Amiga by controverting those programming guidelines.


Sheesh.  No smiley faces here.   :-(

The arrogance of those cretins, claiming the "premier jet fighter simulation
on personal computers" (from their manual for the Amiga, page 3).
