Almost certainly true. On the other hand, very few of these games run on my Amiga 3000. If they were in C they would certainly be fast enough on this machine. (not to mention that Psygnosis and the Bitmap Brothers tend to specialise in absolutely glorious games that are extremely low in playability, but that's another point) -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' <peter@sugar.hackercorp.com>.
