Re: how come 2gs graphics suck?

I definitely have to agree with Supertimer.  The demo he e-mailed me
was incredible.  Now...of course....compared to my PC running full
OpenGL�......3200 color mode graphics on the GS are a lil' bit
outdated looking.  But.....considering the era that the GS is
from....I can definitely say that it holds it's own quite well.  The
only system in it's time that rivaled it's graphics was the Amiga.
And....it's Ensoniq sound chip totally blows away the Amiga in the
audio department.  Yes....I do know for a fact...as I collect all
these old computers, and I have them set up side by side to compare
:-)
