This nags me: "Manufacturer:    Microsoft"
Why should microsoft get the credit for this?
I bet Amiga inc, get only a small percentage of the profit from those, though in reality it was Amiga that developed it.... pretty sad  :-(

One thing i have been wondering... if there is so many developers that are currently developing for AA, where are the games/apps?? We havent seen any new software for quite some time now, though Bill McEwen promised new apps when he was on TechTV.... And yeah this is better than nothing... Hope they succeed..

After reading the comments, this turned out to be the most

Totally agree there... I even regained some faith in AmigaINC...So now i really hope those rumours about new ceo, amiga inc is totally broke and so on... is just false lies.

Not only the distribution, but the APIs used in the game have been developed by Amiga Inc - and we're talking about a lot of APIs (see fleecy's earlier comment)! Obviously, some people are prepared to ignore this fact and criticise amiga inc and call them redundant anyway - but there's no change there as per usual! :)

The problem is that its very hard for US regular non developers to get any info... Amiga INC arent saying anything to the average joe, so its very hard for us to know whats going on behind the scenes.. To me who isnt a AA developer, it seems like the project is buried.
