[comp.sys.amiga] Magic Johnson's Basketball

)-> I just bought MAGIC JOHNSON'S BASKETBALL and boy does it suck.

Absolutely.  The worst program I've  bought, with the exception of
"The Art of Go" which wouldn't even run its demo and who's file requester
is more stupid than imaginable.  (A-squared, publishers, are claiming
a dose of "corrupt disks", so we'll see when we get our disk replaced.)

)->  My advice - forget it - go buy WAYNE GRETZKY HOCKEY
)-> instead. 

Absolutely.  This is by far the most amazing computer game I've ever played.
I think it might have surpassed "rogue" in lost time for me.

Yeah!!!  I got Wayne Gretzky Hockey last week and it is a VERY good
game.  They did all the things right the TVS Football did wrong.  The
only problem (not a minor point, either) is that it CANNOT be loaded to
a hard disk. :-(

I got the biggest laugh from reading the COPYRIGHT NOTICE and LICENSE
AGREEMENT (I didn't agree with it, so why is it an AGREEment?) in the
front of the manual.  It says that by paying my money, I purchased the
disk that the program came on.  I do NOT own the program.  Also, they
don't promise anything that the program even works, just that the disk
surface will not have flaws.  Also, I must not let anybody else even
look at my disk!!  I can't loan my copy to friend to try it out.  I
can't sell it!  If somebody comes and uses my copy, then this
"agreement" is defaulted and I must destroy the disk and the manual and
provide proof of this to Bethesda Software!!!!

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do companies have to polute such a good program with trash like
this?  I guess that I have already defaulted the license agreement
because I have showed the game to my friends.  Oh, well, I guess I have
to go home and burn the disk.  Do I have to destroy my floppy drive too
because it was use to show the game to my friends? :-)
