Having been a game designer for the Apple ][ this issue is close to my heart, however I hope noone takes this comment in the wrong way: Why do we care whether or not there are games on the NeXT ??? (1) Whether or not any individual thinks there *should* be games on the NeXT -- there will be games. (2) The development of games on any computer is a way of pushing the machines capabilities to the limits and discovering new ways to do things that are useful for "non-game" applications. (3) Where does one draw the line between games and educational programs which provide a 'game' environment as a motivation to pick up skills or knowledge? ********************************** * ARCH_EMS@gsbacd.uchicago.edu * * Edward Shelton, Analyst * Edward Shelton, Analyst * * ARCH Development Corporation * ********************************** ------------------------------------------------------------------------
