Re: WOLF3D fot A2 GS

[TWS <adoyson@nccn.net>]

I have a TWGS.   Why is it better than a ZIP?  It seems like the ZIP is
more configurable than the TW.  It has individual slot slowdown, a setting
for the II type speaker, the joystick, etc.

Besides being more easy to upgrade, what is so great about the TWGS?
