I picked 'em all up at an Amiga Show in San Francisco back in '86, and back then the EA booth was having a "buy one get one free" deal. Brataccas, Psygnosis' first Amiga game, was indeed a real UI bear; the worst layout of key control on any game, ever. Without saying, the game would fail on a 68010 to boot. Kinda neat just walking around though... Never did master the whole thing. +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Dallas J.
