thats it lol il have to try and find the disk to play it to see if it was any good.
Ah what a glorious time it was, when 7MB was considered bloated.I can only assume very poor compression was the reason for the 10 disks. Bloaty PC game ports always looked weird on the Amiga, which at the time still had a reputation for excellent compression and games/apps taking up minimal space.
I must say the Amiga looks like it was an incredible computer. Far ahead of it's time.
I grew up with a C64 and then an Amiga system. Most of my friends had no idea what an Amiga was. It was definately ahead of it's time! Even the Amiga workbench was around before "windows"... It was only relatively recently that computer system design and architecture has realized the wisdom of separate dedicated processors that made the Amiga so great. The graphics on the Amiga were far better than anything else at the time. It made me sad when the Amiga fell off the market.
Well Windows 1.0 and the Amiga both came out the same year (1985) and Graphical Desktops have been established for several years by then. However the Amiga did mop the floor of anything until IBM clone PCs finally got proper multimedia hardware in the early to mid 90's.
Well if you want to argue my 2 month old post, I didn't really compare the two, I said Amiga did a much better job back then. I just responded that the Amiga didn't invent graphical desktops before any one else. Hell Xerox Star came out in 1977.
