- WAKE UP! You are comparing a 100$ console with a 1 Megabyte game to
- a MEGA EXPENSIVE PC setup (costing anything up to 3000$) with a game
- that fills up HD space like hell.

- SNES processor power isn't that hot. It's a miracle that they did
- such a good job on WC - it's still playable, if a bit 'lame' compared
- to it's big brother. Rent before you buy is a good note on this game.
-
- BTW: Amiga WC on an A1200 (No AGA version, there is no such thing out yet)
- is rather similar in speed to SNES. A500 running WC is like a SuperSloMo
- version of the PC EGA... I must admit that Amiga version is VERY Good port,
- with everything from the PC version more or less intact, but it really
- cries for an A3000 - another MEGA EXPENSIVE setup...
