assistant: I didn't think the game was terribly good on PC anyway.  The movement was
(is?) reminiscent of Wolf3d, the way the character walks.  The only thing I
like about it is the monster that appears if you take too long |)
But if you're going to argue like that, I might as well point out that the PC
version of Doom was much better than the PSX version.  The PSX had funny
coloured sprites, and the sound was up to crap.

Well some/most(?) of us do have the "proper" full version, as soon as I
learned that Duke 3D might have a few problems (as a result from the
ridiculously new censorship laws that this country has brought in :(~  ), I
rang up Apogee/3D Realms one night and placed an order.
(Which arrived 2-3 weeks later.)  :)   - If you check your customer database
(you do have one don't you?) I should be in it.
Doesn't matter as I'll be ordering it soon anyway from you guys.
