- You've got to be the sixty-billionth person i've seen saying "Boy, I wish
- Psygnosis would port SF2! I wish Team17 would port Mortal Kombat! I wish
- <really cool game publisher or programming team> would port <really popular
- and audiovisually lavish arcade game>".
-
- There's a lapse of logic here.
-
- Has Psygnosis EVER published a game that wasn't designed IN-HOUSE, or by a
- freelance team who came to them?
- Has Team 17 EVER ported anything?
- Have the Bitmap Brothers EVER written a game they didn't design themselves?
- Has <Your favorite really spiffy Amiga games crew> EVER done a port of some
- arcade game?
-
- No.
-
- The games crews we consider good, we consider good partially because of
- their ORIGINALITY.
-
- Now, i could see Mindscape doing a port of some current arcade game. The
- entire history of Mindscape UK has been one of porting games from other
- platforms. But that's about it for the halfway decent publishers who'd
- touch a game designed elsewhere!
-
- ...I mean, most of the Amiga ports of arcade games i've seen were by Elite.
- Pfuii.
