A lot of what makes the Amiga Games smoth is in the custom chips. If the MM/1 has similar creatures running at 15MHz, then Amiga-killer games are a definite possibility. If it doesn't have that kind of hardware capability, then don't get your hopes up. After all, there are already Amiga games that notice they're running on faster processors (up to 50MHz '030s), and use that to get more work done (smoother animations, etc). But the real bottleneck for the Amiga is the 8MHz custom hardware. A 50MHz '030 doesn't make cookie cutter blits run faster. <mike
