- 32 ehb color screens ray-traced? Frame it? Or will it be a bunch of
- ham stills? If it is stills doesn't sound that wonderful to me. Sure it
- will be alright but have to wait to see it and then I might just get the
- ibm vga version, if I get a bridgeboard that works with the cd-rom.
- That is if I see that kcs that suppose to have aga support with it to emulate
- vga, but does it let the ibm look at cd-rom drives on the amiga scsi controller.
-
- But maybe they might make an aga version, shouldn't be tough since they have
- the art work just need to re-compile the executable. Now that would sell
- aga machines with cd-roms. Albeit if they make it interesting so it won't
- be one of those wing commander II, which is used more as a demo for people than
- I have seen people playing it.
