- I wouldn't be so quick to accept this guy as an authority, Ken. Congrats
- on getting Playmation covered in CGW. But I'm sorry it was such a shallow
- and little informative article.
-
- I would have expected more from CGW. This guys review as about on a par with
- the dolts that reviewed Journeyman for the Amiga mags. Little proved that
- he had actually used the program and nothing proved that he could produce
- anything with the program.
-
- I tried to get in touch with the guy for this review after he put out
- a call on the Playmation BBS. The mail I did get from him sounded like he
- was trying to get Playmation users to write the article for him. After
- this I got nothing.
-
- I could have given him some real production experience with the package
- and some nice stills to boot...oh well.
