- No. Never. I spoke to someone in development at Lucasfilm (I work for a
- computer publication) and he said that since Amiga's largest marketplace
- was Germany, and the program might be controversial there, they didn't
- want to do it. The IBM version of the game was never released in Germany
- ether.

- Damn politics...

- Oh yeah, he also said getting it to run on a stock Amiga would be
- extremely difficult, and 68000-based Amigas are the majority of the
- installed base. This is surely going to catch up with CBM. How much longer
- can we expect 386 games like Links and Wing Commander to adequately run
- under an old 16-bit processor?
