Akiko was never that useful for C2P anyway. A far better solution would to have given AGA a real Chunky mode. Even a single lowres, 8bit Chunky graphics mode would have been bearable... a 16bit mode (like the Falcon's) would have been a dream come true.
I always remember the ST's being really lame... then Atari built the Falcon, which in terms of hardware, rocked (That DSP had us all dreaming...), but had a crappy OS and no decent games... I remember thinking that at the time.
