It's so true! I have been so disappointed from that ugly Space Ace GS
conversion with only a few ultra-short scenes and much disk swapping.
Have you ever seen the CD version? It was fantastic!

When I asked ReadySoft if they are interested in licensing a GS
conversion, guess which answer I have received?

Right, they said that "the market on the gs is just too tiny" and
although they wouldn't have any work or expenses, they refused it.

Imagine how good a Space Ace conversion would look if it would
support CD-Roms, extra RAM and accelerators! Of course the best
approach would be to hook a Pioneer LaserDisc player on the gs,
but this would be too expensive (A company in my city offered that
for the Amiga and went bankrupt).

But forget this idea, since these greedy losers won't license a
common CD-Rom game, the only solution would be to draw and write
one from scratch - a mammooth project. :(

Anyway, I recommend buying a CD-Rom for archieve purposes. They are
so dirt cheap now that you won't make anything wrong.
