Has anyone seen or played Blue Max on the Amiga. I noticed it in the store the other day and I got the impression that it was a cheap IBM port. They claim it has 256 VGA colors. How about a quick review or recommendation. -Glenn

As for the 2 player option in 68000 don't even think about it. Also in 2 player mode, the sounds from only 1 players palne can really be heard. Graphics are mediocre, but definitely not 256 VGA. Maybe Red Baron or Knights of the Sky will be better if ported. As for now, I think I'll stick with Wings :) /// Only - Bryan /// AMIGA \\\/// Makes it \XX/ Possible.... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bryan Harpel UUCP: {rugters|uuwest|uunet}!cbmvax!amix!undrground!bryanh INTERNET: undrground!bryanh@amix.commodore.com "You will die by my hand, For it is I who rule the land"

You can play with a split screen, so you can see the other guy's plane from your and his perspective. Excellent if you're shooting him down, not so good if you see YOUR plane in HIS sights. Anyway, those are the impressions I got from about 1/2 hour of playing with it. Amiga is die beste! 'n IBM is 'n rekenaar? Die Mac is net 'n vrot appel! algoa@eecs.cs.pdx.edu Portland TrailBlazers now 46-15 and KICKING ASS!
