Please don't flame on Brian Greenstone.  He's one of the best Apple IIGS game
programmers that are still left programming for the machine.  Just give him a
little room to vent out his frustrations.

Imagine yrself spending the years and energy to learn everything there is to
know about the Apple IIGS; devoting and year+ to writing a terrific game
(Xenocide); and then slowly discover that the market is drying up.  

Don't tell to buy an Amiga; he loves the GS.   He's just discouraged, and
doesn't see much of a future.  Would you want to bet YOUR future on the
machine?

Lynda

and please, PLEASE finish "Alien Rain" ... Brian.
