To be honest, i would have still bought Lost Eden. just for something to go "wow" at after i lent my microcosm disc to a "friend" and it came back with a diry great scratch on it :pissed:
and a pre-rendered game isn't so bad as an adventure game like monkey island etc. etc.
but i was sore at mega race. i love racing games and it made me sick that they could even think to release something like that.
what ever happened to inferno? ok so prerendered cut scenes but i think there was an element of being able to "go do something else" other than play the same piece of video as a mission.
what gets me is, what has happened to the source code for these games? i think magic carpet was pretty near final release, but the basic CD32 isn't gutsy enuff to run it. i'd love to see a miggy "release" of the dusted of source, like that flight sim that CUamiga released from oceans vaults. so what if it needs an 030/040 with 16Mb fast ram. how many users machines don't more than exceed those specs anyway?
once again pie in the sky stuff. i'm going out for a smoke to get my feet back on the ground... but i can dream.... :-D
