Mars will show signs of life before Amiga, Inc. does. We have what we might think could be fossilized microorganisms from Mars and other clue like past liquid water, which is more than can be said for Amiga, Inc. What ever came of that NHL deal?

Looks like the little NHL logo at the top-right on the nhl.amiga.com page was the full extent of the deal.  A search for 'Amiga' on the entire NHL.com site brings back no matches.

Oh, the is that drawing of the motorcycle. Wouldn't a high end PDA that could run the games in their online store be more in light with their assumed business. Oh, and the recent MobleZone deal. Has anyone seen anyone playing their games or new games (if any)?

I've never seen or talked to anyone outside of the Amiga community who even knew that Amiga was now selling PDA games, never mind actually played one of them.

The best game on AmigaDE/Anywhere is still Planet Zed, but even that is starting to look very old (it is getting on for five years old now) compared to modern PDA and cellphone games.  Most of the others are very simplistic puzzle / crossword games.

Damages?  What damages?  DEad has and is been a complete and utter disaster.  The porting of DEad would have ment nothing significant of sales increases, which means it didn't do much, if any harm to Genesi.

Maybe not having DE itself didn't affect sales, but Genesi also had the right to use the Amiga trademarks and logos in asociation with those products to which AmigaDE was supposed to be ported.  I think the lack of the 'Amiga' name on the Pegasos line certainly did reduce sales.
