Now you've made it sound as if a game gets mentioned on Amiga Flame it isn't
exactly going to reach the Amiga gaming public. That's untrue, I believe I
got this article linked from www.amiga.org, Czech Amiga News Agency and
Amiga Network News. A mention of Carmageddon certainly caught the attention
of other news sites.

I shaped that article deliberately because I was in contact with numerous
developers and publishers who were telling me that Amiga Inc was taking no
notice of them. You might say that I was firing a shot across Amiga Inc's
bow. The situation has of course changed with new relationships built
between Amiga Inc and current developers and publishers.
On the other hand looking at the article I was also very disappointed by it
as I failed to generate more interest. There is a great deal to say about
Carmageddon, its features, the controversy and more. I am disappointed that
I won't be able to produce the kind of article I wanted. I do hope that CS&E
reconsider, there is nothing like Carmageddon on Amiga Inc's list.
I am not taking sides, just protecting Amiga Flame.
