- What kind of software? How about:
- Monkey Island II
- King's Quest V
- Indiana Jones - Fate of Atlantis
- Wing Commander II
- Falcon V3.0
- Sim Ant
- Aces of the Pacific
- Battle Isle
- plus almost any future release of American software companies and most
- European companies including:
- A - Train
- Darklands
- Sim Farm
- Sim City 2000
- Strike Commander
- Leather Goddesses of Phobos 2

- I don't want to start any discussions about how good some of the games
- actually are or if they are worth buying at all. The point is that you
- don't have the choice because as far as I know there will never be an
- ST - version of them.
- The decision wether I am going to buy a Falcon or not depends on how much
- software support it will get. It can only be successful if there is
- enough support.
- I hope there are not too many ST users out there who share your opinion
- that there is nothing to worry about.
-
- See ya, Stefan
