- You chose good examples since they are considered as 'new concept' and were
- created both for Atari and Amiga.
-
- THe only concept PC brought was 'Civilazation' and IS available on Amiga.
-
-
- I currently have both Pentium and 'power uped' Amiga 1200 and I use more often my
- Amiga than my PC.
-
- You say : 'There is no Word on Amiga' ... I use LaTeX !!
- 'What about 3D Studio ?' .. THe rendering is awful, Lightwave is nicer
- 'You don't have Command&Conquer' ... I prefer DuneII, more pleasant
-
- In general, PC games are more based on technics that pleasure ... Even CIVILIZATION which
- is, for me, one of the best game ever, is not so much known in the PC world because ...
- "I don't like the graphics ... the music is not beautiful enough".
-
- Yes, I do prefer my Amiga.
- Yes, there is a lack of softs but I always find an opportunity to solve the problem
- thanks to DP productions.
-
- Last question : Why do PC PD products are ALWAYS shareware ?? (and expensive)
- I still remember a time when all the archives contained the source and the only pleasure
- of Amiga programmers was to contribute to the Amiga world ... not making money.
-
- Power PC is the NeXt step :)
-
- I hope Amiga will stay for the future. I don't want him to win over the PC. I just want
- to have the choice between a so-called multitask system 'windaube' and other possibilities.
