Re: worst RPG ever seen?

You used an Amiga in a business setting?!?!  wow.  I feel for you.  As I
stated, there was very little "good" software written for the Amiga, save
for NewTek LightWave, and the Video Toaster stuff, and a few others (no
business apps I knew of), because the platform was largely marketed to
hackers and gamers (one of which I was - and I couldn't hack a good cough).
There were great games!  If you had competent people writing and marketing
software for it, it would probably still be here today.

And as far as the OS and "memory model", precisely what are you comparing it
to?  What other multi-tasking PC-based OS was there at the time?  DOS PCs
had a wonderful OS -- no multitasking, no multitasking problems.  i.e. if
you cut off your legs, you won't get a ticket for jay-walking.

You seem to be comparing a platform that lived and died almost 20 years ago
to the systems of today.  The Amiga was far ahead of it's time, but it
didn't have the backing and market-ability that it should have.  Think about
it -- a separate video processing chip -- a separate sound processing chip,
etc, etc.  Nowadays, you have mobos coming out with a separate video
processing chip, a separate sound processing chip, etc.
