I have owned an Amiga 500 with 1.2 Kickstart since 1987. And before that I had a C64 tor three years. The prime reason for upgrading was that I thought the games would be much better on the Amiga. They certainly look and sound better, butthey cost more and aren't half as much fun to play. Examples of dull games on the Amiga are Rotox. The Lost Patrol and all of the Don Bluth games. To cure this rapidly spreading disease of ‘nice game shame about the gamep ay I can think of two cures. 1 Convert more of the old 64 games like Nemesis The Warlock. Warplay. Paratrooper. Who Dares Wms and River Raid I know that if someone was to release Nemesis The Warlock on the Amiga I'd buy it, despite the silly price I d probably have to P3 CU can take its responsibility towards the games playing community and start a competition for the best game concept The readers could send in drawings and text ideas to give an overall idea of the game, then you could get the Bitmaps or some other talented development team to do the programming. I would have thought that this could be a real money-spinner for the software houses, as the games could become massive hits! I have been reading CU since 1986. And you have improved my English no end, so please try to help me with this as well. Bjom Augustsson, Trollhattan. I agree that it would be nice to see some of the older 8-bit games on the Amiga, but only if it doesn't stop development teams from employing new ideas and breaking new ground. However, it would be nice to see the likes of Combat School, Green Beret, Uridium, and Typhoon making their 16-bit debuts. As for your comments on CU giving advice to development houses, I don't think they need it! None of them consciously writes a bad game, and I'm sure that they wouldn waste up to eight months developing a title in the vain hope that a complete no-hoper would sell. People like the Bitmaps Bullfrog, and The Assembley Line are all working on new products that look stunning, and you have to admit that the newer stuff to hit the Amiga is destined to be looked upon as classics one day.
