- I don't mean colors are the only deciding factor. However, good graphic
- is a must for any games. If people like you can stand 16 colors, why
- everyone wants AGA machine. The only reason WING COMMANDER is better
- than NOVA 9 or LINKS because it is playable on standard A500

- I beg the different. MARC bashes Amiga from every corner. However, for me,
- I only judge the quality of the port. If your satisfaction is such a low
- level, I recommend you don't try to upgrade your Amiga.
