- NO! Dammit, how hard can this be? OK, try this story: Mindscape write WC1 to
- show Origin stuff. Origin impressed. Mindscape now work on other Origin stuff.
- Other Origin stuff include UU1 and UU2 and God knows what else. Mindscape write
- IN ORDER, therefore UU1 come out BEFORE UU2.
-
- Now, of course, WC has come to the Amiga, and the PC users who said 'this will
- never be done on the Amiga' are now saying 'oh THAT, that's OLD...'. Fortunately,
- once Mindscape get their steam up, conversions will be faster (it's easier to
- convert a game than to write it in the first place), so the Amiga release won't be
- so long after the PC release. Too bad Mindscape is a European software house...
- The US superiority complex will prevent all you 'Euro-games-suck'-ers out there
- from buying them. Ah well...
