  If LemminGS is as good a translation of the game as all the beta
testers says it is, then I'd be willing to pay up to $30 for it.
And that's despite the fact I have Lemmings for my Sega Genesis
and my Windows 95 machine (as part of Lemmings Paintball).

  So yes, I agree with you.  Games or applications sold commerically
for the Apple //GS deserve to be priced according to their quality
and in accordance to the price levels we see for comparative software
on other platforms.  The Apple //GS may no longer be in production,
but that is all the more reason to support program developers and to
pay a decent price for the software that IS still being released.

  If Brutal Deluxe are planning to sell LemminGS to all users for
$5 then good luck to them.  Although wouldn't that be the price
for people also buying Convert 3200?  What exactly IS the plan
for the release of LemminGS?  It kind of sounded from John Kohn's
last post that LemminGS would not be available as a seperate
product.  I hope that is not the case, because I don't have any
use for Convert 3200 (particularly since I'm running my GS off
a Second Sight and SVGA monitor, and not an Apple RGB monitor).
