I agree wholly- PBCS was great! If it were written for the GS, with SHR
graphics and nice sound routines, it could have the potential to be as
popular as OOTW! (hmmm, didn't someone say Bill Budge was writing PBCS for
the sega? And isn't that what OOTW was ported to the GS from?!!)

BTW, was there ever a version for the Apple II series with mouse support? I
remember it being announced when the mouse //e first came out, but I never
heard any more.

Another note: Wasn't this out WAY before macpaint? If so, wouldn't that
qualify it for the first 'fatbits' type painting? I remember I loved this so
much, I started using it just for graphics! Of course, this was REALLY slow,
as there were no other real drawing tools, except for using various pinball
components for templates, for circles and such.

One last thing- it would be legal to distribute games created with PBCS,
wouldn't it? Why not start sharing your favorite/best pinball creations in
c.s.a.b ?
