- I'm glad to heart that there are people out there developing games for the
- NeXT. What I'd really like to see is a NeXT port of Wolfenstein 3D. I got
- horribly addicted to it during the Christmas holidays. (Nothing like blowing
- away Nazi's on Christmas day! ;-). I played it on a friend's 386 that had a
- sound board in it. Perhaps it is the sound that really makes this game stand
- out. With the fast Postscript graphics and the sound capability, the NeXT
- seems like the ideal vehicle for this game. Has anyone considered a port of
- this game to the NeXT?
