This might seem like a weird question, but is anyone thinking of writing games for the PowerPC? If the hype is right, this is going to be one fast machine, with 1992/3 level technology for graphics and sound. How about making a game card for this machine, with a wicked sound synthesizer w. multichannel sound plus graphics acceleration providing sprites, zoom, rotation, etc.? I'm not going to do it, but does anyone see this as an opportunity? Or is the market too small or just too fuzzy right now? BTW, this system is supposed to be able to seamlessly run window/os2/mac/aux under one interface. I'll believe it when I see it but it promises a lot!
