[net.micro.amiga] Utilizing Amiga's power in Games

  I have been reading reviews on the net for a while and many of
them say that the program does not use the potential of the amiga.
I have to make one comment about this type of statment.  Being a 
long time user of a TRS-80 model I, I learned that a game(program)
does not need flashy graphics to be both enjoyable and exciting.
When I got my Amiga I decided to get a machine that was the most 
powerful thing on the market, since I would not be getting a new one
for a while.  There is a trickling of programs out at this time and
I have seen and read reviews on most of them.  The comments that I 
hear from many amiga users is `It does not use the Amiga's full 
capabilities.'  The other comment I hear is `This is a direct port
from the ST' [Please don't start a flame war over this :-)].  I want
to just say that a program does not need spectacular graphics to be
enjoyable.  I would much rather buy a program that is enjoyable than
buy one that has wonderful graphics.  I do not mean that developers
should forget graphics, but I don't think that a program that does not
use that full Amiga potential should be panned.
