Whether or not there are good games for the IBM PC or MAC has nothing to do with how Psygnosis should handle their Amiga market. >-I bought my amiga in 1986 and never had any problem with my drives.

I wanted a hard drive installable version of Lemmings for two reasons: - Convenience - I automatically have a backup copy (the original floppies) I don't see why providing hard disk installable versions of games will result in there being no good games. You claim there are no good games for the IBM PC. Do you really think it is because their games tend to be hard disk installable? BTW, one of the best flight simulators (in my opinion) is Falcon, and it is hard disk installable -- and I am running it with a simple 68000. >-Stop flaming Psygnosis please, they enjoyed me so much with a lot of their >games... > No comment. >-Flame Electronic Arts for Chuck Yeager flight sim awful IBM port (but HD >installable !) > Can't say whether it is awful or not, but it is NOT hard disk installable, and they probably should be flamed (at least for that). >-Flame Dynamix for awful IBM port of Stellar 7 (But Hd installable !) > >-Flame US gold for their continuity in selling bad games. > If you want to flame other companies, be my guest. Don't tell me who to flame and who not to flame.
