To be fair, the ST was a much more homegeneous platform than
the PC (as are today's consoles) so debugging was/is a little
bit easier...  However, the level of buggery in games like BC3K
and Daggerfall is disgusting and inexcusable and we cannot
allow companies to get away with this any further...  In
contrast, the level of buggery in games like Doom and Quake
(weird sound/gfx card combos and such) are quite understandable
as no one has access to every possible PC configuration out
there...

My girlfriend of the time and I used to fight over the ST
to the point that we started going on 1 hour Sundog shifts
because neither of us could stand playing as backseat drivers...

We broke up about a year later, surprised?
