- '>The AGA is bran new. We'll know before long. The 3000 was voted "best
- '>computer" or something in Germany this year. The best games I've seen on
- '>Amiga come from either Germany or Great Brittan, so I am not too worried by
- '>what anyone in the USA sees when he looks around. And I think CD-ROM is
- '>going to change things. ...really open up multimedia. But who knows?
-
- If you live in the USA, like I do, you are concerned by software
- companies dropping Amiga support. You also become concerned when all the
- upcoming games you want are coming out for the PC only. CD-ROM may well
- change things, but why is this just an Amiga advantage, as you imply?
- There is already some very nice CD-ROM software for PC's, with even better
- stuff in the near future, like The Seventh Guest.

- '>There will be a new wave of software written for the AGA machines and the
- '>1200 will be the base. I don't think this assertion needs a lot of
- '>supporting argument.
-
- You mean you hope there will be a new wave of software written for the
- AGA machines. The A1200 is the base for a very small portion of an already
- niche Amiga computer market. You are asking alot for software developers
- to forget 4 million ECS Amigas ( with CBM still having the ECS A600 be the
- LCD, and probably best seller of all current Amigas ), and suddenly develop
- all this new wave software for the miniscule AGA market.
