GTA wasn't bad for a 2D game in a 3D gaming world. GTA2 is slightly better
but the same thing requiring a 3D card.

Carmageddon 2 anyone? :)

According to recent surveys conducted by a particular Amiga press
organization (I've got no idea which one :) there aren't as many Amiga
owners using them on the Internet as you might think.

There really is not the demand. Although, my project has a big chunk of
network code supporting dedicated servers and master servers which means it
could be a massive multi-player online experience - and it's NOT a 3D
shooter. And it's coming soon :)
