I ran Transformer on my Amiga 500 while I was a freshman in college for my programming class (GWBasic, yuck).  It was running Kickstart 1.2 or Kickstart 1.3 at that point.

I wish we knew the names of some of the people that worked on it.  I know most people found it a disappointment but I thought it worked pretty well for what I used it for.  I mean it was a software emulator running on a ~8 Mhz 68000.  How fast did they think it was going to be?  

I, of course, ah, got it for free so I'm seeing it from a different price point than whatever it originally sold for.

However, I thought it would be interesting to hear from the folks who actually wrote it.  I would be really interested in hearing their interaction with Commodore.

I know I'm rambling but I would love to hear about the MS folks who wrote AmigaBasic as well.
