Well, Starflight is NOW shipping.  Got a copy today (we get stuff
directly from Electronic Arts Distributing, and they send out
direct before they send to the other distributers).  The port was
done VERY WELL (although it does take over the machine).
It WILL work with the 020 and 030, makes excellant use of the
Amiga graphics, sound and mouse.  For anyone that played this
on other machines, it is a must get.  The map and codewheel look
to be the same, and all other options are the same, but
the graphics have been greatly enhanced.  The game also
goes through the mechanics must faster (disk loading, and
things likt landing sequences).  It comes on 1 disk and is
a codewheel type copy-protection (disk can AND SHOULD be copied
to play).

Also got in Space Ace - it is on 4 disks.  So far I have been unabel
to get it to run on a 2620 machine (either in the 020, or the 68000
mode) but it does run on a 500 :-).  It plays just like Dragon's
Lair (although the scene changes seem to be speeded up).  It
WILL NOT install on a hard drive, but you can SAVE a position, so
if you die, you do not have to start all over again if you are
90% through with the game.

And last but certainly not least, the commercial (Interstel) version
of Empire arrived today.  A quick run through of it is very
impressive for all you Empire players
