TurboRez ads!

[ltchean@iss.nus.sg (Lim Thye Chean)]

Hey, just read the latest GS+, both Second Sight and TurboRez has ads in it!
Appearantly Reztek wanted to tell the world that it is still alive, and it
has a "superior" graphics card!

btw, I really like the TurboRez ads! It has following messages in it:

* <$250
* TurboRez GS - The Animation Machine
* Coming Soon...
* Brilliant Color AND Dynamic Full-Screen Animation on your IIGS
* Other products (why is it productS and not product?) focus mainly on
  supporting very-high resolution SVGA-type monitors
* Emphasis is on high-speed, fluid animation for your multimedia application
  needs
* High speed blitter
* Hardware line drawing
* Multiplane Technology
* Display List Coprocessor
* 7600+ colors
* Not slot specific
* Totally transparent
* Able to drive VGA monitor with a new adaptor!

Wow, this ads is really cool! It give me an impression that TurboRez is a
really more impressive product than Second Sight! (Does not mean it is, but
the impression is there) Note the way Reztek dress up TurboRez - animation,
colors, speed, etc, are all unmatched by Second Sight!

In my opinion, Reztek might actually wins if:

* Actually put in some colour images that uses 7600+ colors (maybe using the
  same image to contrast with Second Sight 256 colors)
* Work with one of the programmer(s)/company on a TurboRez specified DOOM
  like game. If there is a Wolf3D specified for TurboRez...
* Sell it at $200 or lesser. Second Sight it only $149, $250 is too high for
  TurboRez.
* Release it about the same time range with Second Sight.
* Have more bundled software than Second Sight (I think it already done that -
  let me think: a paint program (yes, it is cool), a GIF viewer, graphics
  format converter, HyperStudio support). 

Since I have seen TurboRez and was impressed, I hope it done well! Now lets
see, which should I buy? Second Sight or TurboRez? mmm...

Some hints for Second Sight to win the race:

* More colors! Even for future expansion only it is OK.
* More bundled software! A graphics viewer only is too limited.
* Release it before TurboRez.

Now GS world is fun again...
