- Oh fooey on this! Broadway got its WHITEWATER in and one day later

- I don't see that Data East games fail so much more frequently or
- sooner than Williams games; anyone have any hard evidence to the
- contrary? I realize how much fun it is to make snide remarks about
- the company, but let's make sure we have our facts straight before we

- To bad we don't have any operators in this group (though even if we
- did, it's such a touchy subject that I doubt any would be willing to
- speak up).
-
- How about people with wider experience than just what their local
- pizzeria or bar gets in? Let's see if we can collect some facts here,
- rather than just a bunch of anecdotes...
