I've seen A10.... no biggie. It fly's o.k. and it works on the 3000.... but the mouse control is a joke, and the plane just handles wrong.... not too bad, but just not worth going crazy over. BTW, what does it mean "$20 markup! Who are they kidding?" -MP-

You sound like a person who's never played Pioneer Plague. This is a HAM arcade/adventure game that is colorful and FAST. I haven't seen another game on *ANY* other machine that can match this one for the sheer amount of color on the play screen at one time. It's quite amazing and available from Antic Publishing for $39.95. >Relax, though.. the VGA can display more colours but it's not too fast at it >so VGA games tend to have as few objects as possible moving on the screen >(and as small as possible).

That's what the trend is nowadays (more realism) and that's what the Amiga can do better than the PC... I own both an Amiga and a 386 and I have respect for the abilities of both machines. That's because I've used both.

HAM not fast? Well, folks, I have also heard that HAM displays take up a lot of processor time, but Pioneer Plague is most definitely the fastest game on ANY computer, bar none! The music and action on this game is so fast that I have to stop playing before my heart explodes! HAM mode can not only move, it can SCREAM! And that is on a 68000 7.16 Mhz Amiga, folks... I'll take 4096 out of 4096 over 256 out of 256,000 any day! By the way does anyone know which keys to press to program the drones in Pioneer Plague? -Cutter, who knows a bitplane when he sees one!
