  • Activision mailed me I can distribute their games...well, it worked the other way around, I thought it might well be worth a try... Many many great games we lose with Activision!

    Ah, but how do you know that's correct? it could be a case of taking some letters out and adding some to Alessandro Tommasi's name to get mine!

    now that's a question for you!

    Seriously, better Mac file server support was the main reason for adding streams to NTFS. Obviously that's all a bit academic these days and so the metadata uses are becoming more obvious.

  • What is the best graphics to be seen on a speccyI'd like some opinions on that, out of interest. I except loading screens. Tir Nan Og was a landmark for sure, but what bettered it?

    I always found Highway Encounter's graphics to be very stylish (as with most of Costa Panayi's games). And Exolon, Cybernoid, Dan Dare and Dan Dare II are very pretty too.
