   While I wouldn't claim that the A1200 runs every available piece of
software (particularly games), it surely runs almost any Amiga application.
Include here all paint packages, desktop publishing, illustration programs,
multimedia programs, etc.  Yes, it's got a significant advantage over
the FALCON.  And BTW, I know of more than 30 games that run on the A600.

  Wrong word here reduced to its actual factual size.

   Psygnosis and Ocean have pledged support for the AGA.  There is another
company that also pledged support for the AGA.  AT LEAST Psygnosis and
OCEAN are MAJOR entertainment software companies....  Psygnosis ALONE
is an EXCELLENT MAJOR GAME COMPANY... a company that have dropped ST
support in some of their games...

   So, I don't know about what the Falcon can claim, but at least on the
Amiga part of the statement, yes, major entertainment software producers
have pledged support.

   I suggest that you read signatures before replying.... the guy above
seems to work for an entertainment software company and I think that
he knows better.

  BLAME ATARI, they deserve it.
