I thought I'd pass this along to folks who'd given up running most games on the A-3000. I received Coast To Coast Technologies' Amiga Action Replay yesterday, a very interesting (but not rock-solid) product. A big part of my reason for purchase was the hope that I could run games that normally fail to boot on my A-3000 by loading working A-1000 created memory images of the same games. Well, for one game this worked: Bubble Bobble. The game runs just fine on my A-3000 although a good bit faster. I went one step further and used the cartridge to correct the game's use of the COLOR bit in BPLCON0 so it now works correctly on the A-1000's composite video out! Too bad this didn't work for Datastorm, Beast I or Killing Game Show. But still interesting! +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Dallas J.
