OOTW/GS is probably a best seller. At least because it's the only major

OOTW did not got excellent reviews in game magazines. The Amiga version

Well, I think a few games are not bad if they are balanced by a few
_really_ powerful and up-to-date applications. I don't want to be the
proud owner of a game console. But some entertainment between two
