Does anyone out there know if Bethesda has/will eve3r update Gridiron! beyond v1.2 (Gridiron!'s release number -- nothing to do with the OS)? Also, has Microsearch (I think that's it -- the company I want is the one that does City Desk) upgraded Head Coach to 2.0 yet? Back in March they said so,ething was due in the summer, but I never got a card from them, and haven't remembered to call yet. Before I drop the dime, (more like dollar) I thought I'd ask here first. Next, is EA going to port Jack Madden Football to the Amiga? If it's anything like Earl Weaver Baseball is for baseball, I'd love to see it. Has anyone seen hoe it is on other machines? #define FLAME on Finally, I don't understand all the crying over the rumor of Cinemaware going out of business. I say GOOD RIDDANCE! If their other stuff is anything like TV:Sports Football, they deserve to go under. It concentrates on flash and sound, but the game play is wretched. Making you reboot to get out of practice mode and after every game is very bogus, as is forcing you to play from the master disk. Having made the mistake of buying it, I warn others to stay away from it at all costs. Their customer supprt sucks eggs, too. I wrote them a letter complaining about some of the things I just mentioned, and they wrote back the most patronizing letter I've ever seen -- filled with stuff like "Well, if you knew anything about programming...", "We all know the Amiga has some big problems with it's OS..", and ended it with saying that they really didn't care what I thought. Why is it that software companies are so goddamned arrogant? Such behavior in any other business would not be tolerated. It almost makes you want to be a pirate just to punish them (only 1/2 :^). #define FLAME off ******************************************************************************* * Rich Carreiro "I get on my knees and pray, we don't get fooled again! * * rlcarr@athena.mit.edu -- The Who * *******************************************************************************
