I've heard that Bethesda has released Wayne Gretsky Hockey Version 2 for the IBM PC. I haven't heard of an Amiga version (of the update). Any one know anything about this. It is probably the same old "the Amiga sales haven't warranted an upgrade" deal. Frustrating, since the Amiga version has so much more potential than an IBM version. Bethesda should implement a 3-d view, like a press box view. I wrote them about this and they said that this wasn't feasible due to them having to port to the PC. UGHHHHH!!!

He also said that Gretzky 2 (can I spell or waht?) :-) will be out for Amiga by Christmas, and it should be MUCH better than the IBM Gretzky 2. Something about doing the Amiga version to set the standard, then try get the IBM version to be as good. Now there's an attitude I like. While we're on the subject, Dynamix will be making the Red Baron for Amiga, apparently they were looking for some good Amiga programmers to get some Amiga specific code instead of straight port with inferior graphics (can you say A-10 Tank Killer). BTW Stellar 7 is pretty good, nice and fast on a 3000, definately playable on a 500. Amiga is die beste! 'n IBM is 'n rekenaar? Die Mac is net 'n vrot appel!
