However, Ian makes a good point. Atari is a small company and has limited resources. I too would prefer that they devote their energies to the support of their current line and the development of future products. I believe that would be of greater long-term benifit to Atari than insuring that the Amiga has an an authentic port of Gauntlet... BTW, who is "RJ Michal"? This is my first post, so a fancy signature will have to wait. Happy New Year, everybody! Steve Plite
