Maybe it was down to a lot of people using stuff like SCADs (which sounded like a disease at the best of times) which produced flawed software (and similarly GamesMaster had some vile limitations) instead of coding their own from scratch, but the fact remains that most SAM games weren't exactly stellar. -------- I wish more peopel had the talent to have hand coded their work ... as you say - it would have really made the difference with some Scads games.... Some people such as Jupiter did write some great games using Scads however :)
