><                  >>TWO<<  new travesties on the Amiga?
><                        Yep.  SimCity and ELITE.
><SimCity doesn't function on an '020 Amiga, and ELITE doesn't function on either
><or both an '020 or a memory-expanded Amiga.    ^^^^^
><                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

	Hmm.. funny I just bought Elite and after reading the same thing in the
manual I decided to try it anyhow.. Worked fine for me. I have an A-500 w/
3 Megs and a GVP hardcard hooked up through a subsystem, i.e. Expanded !
Game play is REAL nice and true to the original as far as I can see. I've
only played for about an hour though. The interface is pretty darn nice as
you can use the mouse, joystick or keyboard without informing the program
that you want to change i.e. joystick in one hand, mouse in your second hand
and operate the keyboard with the other :-) The trading screen has been 
totally revamped and uses icons to trade and a psuedo calculator pad on 
screen to adjust quantities. Of course the ships are all solid now as is
the space station and planets, and much faster. Go figure :-)
