- I got a chance to see is also and HOLY DITHERING!!! Most of the time when you
- see an IBM conversion, it's dithered in that ugly "MS-dithering" kinda way
- but this is overkill! I don't even know why Origin is bothering with this
- crap. Everything in the game was out of sync. The animation jerked back and
- forth.
-
- I'm just thinking that if I went through and bought an IBM, I'd have some
- great stuff like Falcon v3.0, Wing Commander I/II, Ultima VII, and Star Trek
- 25th Anniversery with even more great ones to come like Srike Commander, etc.
- The thought is tempting...
-
- Just one question... obviously, Origin knew that this game is junk. Why'd
- they even bother releasing a demo then? It would just make potential customers
- into unpotential customers. If this was reallly a capitalist ploy, they'd
- scratch the demo and just release the thing. Hell, I would've gone out and
- bought it under those circumstances. Now, I'm just gonna wait until somebody
- posts here about the official release and probably still won't buy it in the
- end.
