Are ST-Format useless or what? Saying the Falcon runs at 30-35MIPS. Saying the ST has a palette of 256 colors. Putting the same captions of a program on completely different screen-shots of completely different programs. Filling their mag' with Sega, Nintendo, and Amoeba ad's. The cover disks have also gone down the drain, 2-MIDI sequencers in 1 year - both of which are pretty horrible, and I only know of a couple of people who even have MIDI. And they all have decent software like Notator, or Cubase or some such thing! They also have a habit of publishing complete solutions to games either before or as they are released, or a couple of weeks later, which ruins it for the guy who just spend $50 on a game, and who was enjoying the puzzles, only to have half of it solved before he could quickly turn the page! Also saying the Falcon can display Super-VGA graphics (640*480*256 is hardly super-VGA). They're getting worse, the magazine looks 'orrible lately too! That's my wibble! ============================================================================== | If I told you how much I needed this, I wouldn't have time to eat it!
