I have the original FALCON, plus Operation:Counterstrike (which is great). I
BOUGHT them both. Now something called Falcon 1.2 is out for the AMIGA???
I havn't heard anything fom Spectrum Holobyte about this. What is it and why
should I buy it?
I was also wondering about the availability of a few games.
Is Mechwarrior EVER coming out, or was it vaporware?
what about Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe?
SimEarth?
Battletech: the Crescent Hawk's Revenge?
Megatraveller: the Zhodani Conspiracy?

If these games were out for the Ami I would BUY everyone of them. Are there
plans to release any of them??

SimEarth should still be in production. I'd expect it to be out on the Amiga market around July (no inside sources, just an educated guess based on SimCity's timing). As for M.U.L.E., I'd love to see it on the Amiga,but my impression is that it's NEVER been released for any 16-bit machine. My roommate once dragged out his old Atari 800 (no flames - Miner & Mical created it) and we played M.U.L.E. for about four days without touching any of the 16-bitters in the place. Brought back a piece of my childhood, that did.

I keep hearing that this is definitely planned. I hope they follow through. I've been told that the Mac version will run under AMAX if you're real anxious. >Battletech: the Crescent Hawk's Revenge? I could have sworn I saw this game at the local dealer with an Amiga sticker. I could be wrong. I was no unimpressed by the MS-DOS release I do not expect much. >Megatraveller: the Zhodani Conspiracy? This was advertised in the May issue of AmigaFormat. Looks great, too! No specific date was mentioned, but I assume that means its a firm plan. > M.U.L.E !!!!!!!! goddamit! I agree. I've found Full Metal Planete makes a suitable surrogate, though. (Draconian, 1988). >If these games were out for the Ami I would BUY everyone of them. Are there >plans to release any of them?? Get out your checkbook. With the exception of the Luftwaffe game (which I have never heard of) I think you'll see the other titles eventually. Mechwarrior will obviously be an Amiga release if it emerges at all. (Fingers crossed) One more point- If you have seen the new CDTV in stores, look at the catalog of available titles. Maxis advertises a CDTV version of SimCity. The screenshot looks significantly different than the standard Amiga version. Perhaps the greater storage has been utilised in some way? -- | Robert E.

Six months ago, EA did have a "SuperMULE" project. Don't know what ever happened to it - it certainly hasn't shown up yet. >old Atari 800 (no flames - Miner & Mical created it) Not Mical. Jay Miner did the custom chips for the Ataris, but R.J. wasn't involved. -- Mike Farren farren@well.sf.ca.us
