- Second post I read with this sentence.
-
- If AGA games must use OS calls, why do they sell the AMIGA 1200 ?
-
- I doubt the 1200 will ever have RTG, because there is no video slot !
-
- And why do we need to run games like Zool on another graphic card ?
-
- Seriously, I think only people having 030/040 machines will be able
- to run fast games, and we will encounter the same problem as with the
- PC market.

- Sincerely,
