Dear Fellow Amigaites: I just spoke with Ken Homer at Psygnosis regarding the 68010/20/30 compatibility of their games and hard disk installation. He says: "The three A-3000 compatible games we have on the market now are the Killing Game Show, Spellbound, and Matrix-Marauders. Most of our development (for now) is completed, so we won't be seeing any new ones soon." He requested the ALL AMIGANS that want turbo/A-3000 compatibility write him at: PSYGNOSIS (pronounce sig-NO-sis) 29 Saint Mary's Court Brookline, MA. 02146. The Britons are responsible for Psyg's horrendous CP schemes. His own feelings were that they're much more closed-minded about compatibility than those of us in the States - they're mostly worried about the best copy protection razzle-dazzle. While you're at it, make a pitch for HD-installability and a shift over to manual copy-protection. (as EA and Cinemaware are doing). Suggest wording on their packages singing the praises of their future A3000/WB 2.0/Hard Disk-Installable software. Others will follow! +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Dallas J.
