I agree... :)

Just thought I'd see what folk would really want the most, as I haven't written anything for a long while and thought I'd see what folk are really looking for... :)

Ideally all of the above but if I could have only 1, then I'd like printer drivers!
 
The rest I can make do with what we already have but I'd like to print from the Amigas instead of going through WinUae...

Turn based strategy games, but I imagine a web browser that "understands" CSS might be handy too

Well, I voted for a new/updated Web browser because I think it's the most important piece of software Amiga would need nowadays (even and especially 68k).
But I'd love to see more gfx, video and audio (especially) new modern applications.

C U!

I'd like to see new games written for unexpanded OCS Amigas. Some of us aren't running on PPC-accelerated AGA machines with SDL, y'know :/ But hey, at least it gives me an opportunity :)

What about some productivity software?  A decent word processor, spreadsheet and presentation program are sorely lacking.  Did you leave that out of the poll purposely?

I chose other but I was really close to saying web browser.

I'd like to see an open rtg standard for OS3.x.  We're on lock down in the 90's as it is.

No new drivers, no DDC configuration, no future.

Wait. People actually use those things? I mean, besides because the mucky-mucks at the office said everything has to be handed in in Word format?
