I'd have to disagree about the NEED for higher resolution in games.  While
CAD and other high definition work would SINCERELY benifit from a 640x400 (or
480!) screen I feel that in the game department the one thing seriously
killing the //gs (besides speed) is the fact that we only have 16 colors on
the 320x200 game screen.  This is the SAME as a frickin Commodore 64 folks!
The Amiga screens with 320x200 and 256 colors are not any more pixel
definitive than the //gs, BUT they do have the range of coloration that
allows for real depth in the graphics displayed.  Comments?
