- You have a good argument here, since this is also what is being done
- on computers like the PC and Amiga (yes the Amiga).
- Many new games supports external graphic cards on the Amiga, which
- means that one doesn't need to have an Amiga with AGA-gfx, just a
- decent external gfx-card.
-
- And by actively supporting graphic-cards on the Atari, means that
- clones such as the Medusa, Hades etc.etc. will get more interesting
- to buy - because they won't just be able to run GEM-only programs
- and LiNUX 68k, but then also a few good games.
