- I do not know where do you get the luck, but somehow none of the
- games I tried, except for Wing Commander, worked on my A4000, even on ECS or
- Original chip mode. I toggled around with other switches and some of
- them worked but others did not. All of my "productivity" softwares
- works great and some even support the spectrum of colors available.
- Overall, the computer needs more work, but is none the less sufficient.
