- Strange isn't it... not all that long ago, people were writing excellent games
- on 7Mhz OCS A500's with 512K. Take Xenon 2. It's still one of the best
- shoot-em-ups I've seen on the Amiga.
- I must say that s/w coders really don't seem to be making the most of the
- Amiga any more. You tend to forget just how good the machine IS.
