In <A Whole Bunch of Messages> Aris Friesen spews a whole lot of garbage: 
  
I don't want to flame you, because you seem to have a very slight realization 
of reality.  I would like to make a few comments though. 
  
A. Blasteroids is done in a 320x200 resolution.  It would look like total 
trash in a monochrome 640x400.   It may not be possible to duplicate on an ST, 
but I do know of another 68000 computer that has animation, color, and sound 
capabilities to match the arcade game. 
  
B. Test Drive ST is not a "duplicate" of Test Drive Amiga.  Although I have 
not experienced these "errors" you claim are ridden throughout the program, 
I have experienced these differences.  The engines "roar" instead of "buzz", 
the pictures of the cars "shine" instead of "glimmer."  The rest of the game 
is negotiable.  Of course, I have heard people say that the IBM EGA version 
isn't much better.  Overall, it is a lousy game.
