While I disliked OOTW on my Amiga, I am happy to say Fade To Black is just
completely great. I haven't actually fealt I was in such a cool game forever,
the true 3D works great on my DX4-100 even in High res (tho, i do make the
view area smaller - worth it.). I keep feeling like i'm playing a really cool
TV show and in full control. The music and sfx are GREAT on my GUS Max, and
the animations i've seen so far are pretty cool as well! I'm glad I bought it
so far.
