- Well, I don't think you can blame AT for the success or otherwise
- of VK. It may have sold more in the glory days, but it still would
- have been criticised in the mag reviews, and it still would have been
- so close to being good. You got little money cos not many people bought
- it, this is because there were fewer Amiga owners buying games and
- because VK wasn't good enough (but was very close, just needed some
- tweaks).
-
- I feel for the developers at times like this, but it's got nothing to
- do with AT, sure they could have marketed the A1200 more aggressively,
- but sooner or later it was gonna come, the Amiga can't compete with
- consoles in the games market, not from an A1200 level anyway.
-
- It takes time to develop new machines, you can tell 'em they've f***ed
- it up when the new machines come out and no-one buys them, until then
- there's nothing to say, except it was CBM's fault. If you want to
- blame anyone, blame CBM management for delaying the release of the A1200
- *2 YEARS* so they could sell off all the crappy A600's. You can hardly
- criticise AT when you think of the A600 debacle.
