Well it wasnt personal or anything but as one of the poor sods who has to
develop for that machine... sorry mate, but its a bloody nightmare! Like I said
nothoing personal but as an artist the machine really hampers us, or at least
compared to what we were LED to believe was capable of the beast from all the
pre-launch hype. Sure theres always gonna be hype, but that and the marketing
f*** ups, high price tag etc etc... not been to pleasant a transition period for
the developer :( Its not a BAD machine, just not what we expected and (so I'm
told) its really tricky to get your head round code-wise (yes, the problems you
described plus severely undocumented "features"). I guess its a learning
experience. Still, bring on Game Cube! HeHe!!!
Anyway to keep on subject - I'm STILL looking for that CBM Pet and Apple II if
anyone has one in the UK?!!!
Also, slightly off topic I guess... does anyone have or can anyone get me a
Atari 5200 in the States who is willing to ship to the UK?
Thanks!
