I don't want to reboot my machine because it's NOT a Commodore-64. If I wanted
a game machine I could have got one a hell of a lot cheaper than the nearly
2 grand I paid for my original A1000 with options. I don't want to reboot
because I may have work in progress at the time I start the game up. I am
willing to deal with a game that kills multitasking while it's running, but
it should leave allocated memory alone. If it can't run with what I give it,
it should say so.
Hackercorp's own game, Tracers, multitasks just fine. I really don't see why
anyone else should find it impossible to at least return to multitasking when
it's done.
