I saw this in a Briwall ad... that they had the game "sidearms" for the Amiga. Is this the Sidearms game I recall from the arcade years ago? If so, does anybody know if it will run on the 3000? Thanx! /---------------------------------------------------------------------\ | -Doug Bischoff- | *** *** ====--\ | "Beggars can't | | -DEB110 @ PSUVM- | * *** * ==|<>\___ | be users.

It is a *VERY* poor port of the Arcade original, by Capcom. I bought it from a local dealer for $5. I'm glad it was only $5. Any more and I would have been angry. The graphics are poor, at best. The sprites are too large, slow moving, and not very colorful. I'm not sure if it will work on a 3000. I think it was a well- behaved game, so it probably would. But I wouldn't waste my time, if I were you. There are better fish in the sea. If you are still interested, I can sell you the thing for what I payed. I still have the box. I may even still have the manual (if I look for it, I might be able to find it). But the manual doesn't say much of anything. Tabor Wells twells@eecs.cs.pdx.edu

Well, sort of. Same title, licensed from CapCom as well, but what US Gold actually produced is a shadow of the original game. My advice is not to even bother with this version (as well as 90% of the crap that spews out of US Gold). If you want a home version of Sidearms, the NEC TurboGrafix supposedly has a good one. >If so, does anybody know if it will run on the 3000? Thanx! Given US Gold's 020/030 track record, I highly doubt it. >/---------------------------------------------------------------------\ >| -Doug Bischoff- | *** *** ====--\ | "Beggars can't | >| -DEB110 @ PSUVM- | * *** * ==|<>\___ | be users.
