    Well, I wouldn't call it a "priority item", but I definitely would
like to see a good PCS with 256-colour graphics, great sound effects, a
selection of background music (or provide you own), lots of neat little
gizmos to place on the pinball board, etc.  I played with Tristan for a
little while.  Pretty graphics, but it didn't seem all that special.  A
game like this won't be too CPU-intensive, so the GS should be capable
of some really cool stuff (especially wrt music and sound).

    You might be able to get a fairly decent version out in DHR, but I
think the sound and music are equally (if not more) important than
snazzy 256-colour graphics.  Where's Amtex located?
