- Spectrum Holobyte lost the sense of realism Falcon once had in a mismanaged
- attempt to try to make the game more interesting by keeping the player busy
- by having incoming bogies coming in all the time. (tongue twister run on :)
- I find this extremely annoying and distastful. Also, I've noticed that they
- have removed the Mac/PC and MAC/Amiga-Atari Head-to-Head action setups from
- the menu, not they ever worked anyway. I guess they got tired of the number
- of complaints and harrassing phone calls. Not to mention that they opted to
- limit the max speed of the comm to 9600 baud. Not that I can get the modems
- to connect at anything over 2400 anyway even after disabling MNP, V.42bis,
- etc. Oh well, I guess this game gets trashed off my hard disk just like the
- last version it was supposed to replace. Buy Falcon MC, NOT!

- P.S. - Individual modem drivers would have done nicely if the thing works
- at high speed at all.
