I wouldn't be so quick to accept this guy as an authority, Ken. Congrats
on getting Playmation covered in CGW. But I'm sorry it was such a shallow
and little informative article.
I would have expected more from CGW. This guys review as about on a par with
the dolts that reviewed Journeyman for the Amiga mags. Little proved that
he had actually used the program and nothing proved that he could produce
anything with the program.
I tried to get in touch with the guy for this review after he put out
a call on the Playmation BBS. The mail I did get from him sounded like he
was trying to get Playmation users to write the article for him. After
this I got nothing.
I could have given him some real production experience with the package
and some nice stills to boot...oh well.
