ASH!!!! Unless Ash 4 is going to supporty CrAsh proggies... the features in
crash are good, but i think the overall portability of the programs is what
matter most. :-)

I only have an 82... One question though... why so many ports? Are these
direct ports or just new version of old games... It could be very well that
all good calc. game ideas have been taken, however i doubt this is the
case....

When in doubt why something crashes... blame it on the APD!
