- Actually, I may not be an "objective" source about this, since Origin is
- my favorite company and I WILL play ALL their games, no matter what. I
- have NEARLY acquired ALL their titles, only Autoduel and Bad Blood left
- (the former has been mail ordered from Chips & Bits and the latter wilt
- follow shortly)
-
- Allow me then, to recount a few comments from fellow silicon warriors who
- were with me at the trade show where the video was shown:
-
- "I can't imagine running this on a 386, you'll need a 486 or
- better" - Flash
-
- "I don't believe this is a disk game, it must be a CD-ROM!!"
- - Tan Teng Hong
-
- "I'll be surprised if this takes less than 30 MB"
- - The Blue Beetle
-
- Chris Roberts can take all the time he needs to do this, even if it is
- released in 1994 :):) Just get it right!!!
-
- By the way, Ross, how soon after the release of the disk version wilt the
- enhanced CD version come out? I'm at a loss as to whether to wait for the
- CD version. Will Origin have an upgrade policy for disk buyers?
