99%? I'll give you 75% since that matches the "installed base" - but like many things, a killer app would have driven selling new machines.

The market might have been small I grant you... but as evidenced in the PC scene people did spend money on hardware to be able to play this game. It could have extended the commercial life of the Amiga for a couple more years (not that anything was going to stop what was just over the horizon in '95). |

Nobody was going to rush out to buy an Amiga so they could play Doom. There was no reality where that was ever going to happen.

Doom was the last nail in my Amiga's coffin... Bought a PC an didnt look back for some years. At that time "my" Computer Shop was throwing out Amiga stuff and filled the space with PC games/things. |

The last nail in the Amiga's coffin was hardly Doom. Doom was just what happened to everyone else after the lid had been closed.

Hi! My name is Jim.. and I am a computer programmer & funny. My boss seems to disagree on both counts.. I wonder why? Anyway.. thats enough about me... What about you? Do you know any good jokes? (by the way... the protection is nowhere near here - so you may as well give up looking... try over in the stack segments... theres a good chappie!). |

I just checked the bootblock of "Dr. Cubes magic lands" by Scienide. See picture. And here the translation from german: ---------------------------------------------- Attn! This bootblock is not a virus, but part of the program on this disk... It may NOT be deleted, otherwise the program won't load anymore!!! ************ To every cracker: You'r off the rocker! >> Pirating software is a serious crime. << Pirating is strictly illegal in Germany and almost everywhere in the world !!! ---------------------------------------------- If not crackers themselves weren't they a demogroup who at least wrote some cracktro's? Trivia: The german phrase actually would be: "Du tickst wohl nicht richtig." |

Mr Larmer speciality is to crack such beasts. Lots of loading & decrunching. Encryption. Time consuming.
Is the game any good BTW? someone compared it to Gods I have my doubts... |
