   There are a bunch of IBM EGA games that would be a snap to convert
graphically; it's the rights to the graphics, game concept, and
getting any semblance of speed out that's the problem. Apogee's
Biohazard looks _very_ convertible, and a good chunk more fun than
Keen. [And I really don't think a GS could pull off the hyperactive
action, but 'Abuse' with simpler graphics just might be doable--
darn fine game that.]
