Many people would appear to want the GS to move in the direction of the
Amiga. There seems to be quite a few people upset over the lack of a
large selection of arcade games.There is another side to all of this.
 
The GS, in my opinion, should not move in this direction. I, for one, do
not want my children spending hours playing Nintendo type games. I would 
prefer to have the GS(as it currently is) regarded as a family computer
with the ability to access good games(it needn't be an enormous
selection-just a good selection), have non-copyprotected software, have
a nice selection of educational and music oriented programs,and have a
640x400 video mode so that the computer can better function as a
graphics terminal(a tektronics emulator would be very nice).The recent
description of the ROM04 rumoured GS seems great.I see no need to keep
up with the arcade skills of the Amiga. I do see a need for a faster
cpu,video,640x400 and improvements on the Mac-GS connectivity side.
