:-) Well, I don't know that for sure... I think there are certain limits to a
computer, and if it was possible to write good games on CGA, the games on
SVGA would look even better than they do now, if you understand what I'm
getting at.
The game system is so advanced because they use completely different
hardware, which is especially designed for gaming which the PC certainly
isn't ;-)
