- Alex Amsel, one of the lads who brought us XTR was VERY pissed off with some of
- these mags who didnt bother to play XTR to the full, in fact hes so pissed with
- the the mags for not spending any time that hes said on comp.sys.amiga.games
- that his company will not relese any more amiga games becasue these mags are
- slating his product without giving it a proper testing, im glade CU amiga liked
- it and I will post the original message to comp.sys.amiga.games just to let him
- know there are some decent reveiwers out there.
-
- XTR on my 1200 with 4mb ram is brilliant at 2x1 without dithering ( I have to
- boot without a startup-sequence as you need 2mb of fast free to do this)
-
- the mags are killing us!!
