They were right to think the A500 couldn't do the texture mapped graphics of Wing Commander at any kind of playable speed (even with a space setting, so mostly-blank backdrops). A few people tried it, nobody succeeded. On an A1200 or above it was fine though, we could have had a lot more done with the style.
