I'm assuming this was posted to the list, but if it wasn't (it ended up
in my "In-Box"), I'm still replying to the list as there seems to be a
lot of interest in this subject and this is the closest thing I've found.
I'm also on the Allegro mailing list (PC C/Allegro developers) and one
of the projects being developed should be of interest to you guys...

Well, no the Amiga isn't mainstream anymore...

I'm not sure about that... there are loads of languages available for
the PC. Personally, I prefer C/Allegro over anything...

I think it would be far easier to visit the following website:
http://www.games.ndirect.co.uk/
Once you've arrived, click on the "The Game Creator" link. In case
you're curious about what you'll find, "The Game Creator" sounds
vaguely familiar... doesn't it?
Take care,
GARFIELD
