Strange isn't it... not all that long ago, people were writing excellent games
on 7Mhz OCS A500's with 512K.  Take Xenon 2. It's still one of the best
shoot-em-ups I've seen on the Amiga.
    I must say that s/w coders really don't seem to be making the most of the
Amiga any more.  You tend to forget just how good the machine IS.
