- It maybe shows that Amiga people aren't stupid. They look at DOOM, then look
- at AB3d. They see that Ab3D is blocky, and the gfx nearly unrecognisable.
- Sure some people will like it, but just because there ain't nothing better, or
- because they UNDERSTAND why it is so blocky (ie, their Amiga can't handle it).
- Most people however will want to see DOOM in 1x1 320x256 running at 50 FPS on
- their A1200, and as AB3d of course can't ever hope to do this on a standard
- 1200 those people didn't buy it.
