Of course fiscally, it does look lame, and I can't see them making any money
on it either. But my point was, it was interesting, and I think that was
the original threads point. Those of us with Speccy upbringings, found it
well, "neat", I wasn't implying I was going to run out and buy one, just
that it's nice to know the little Speccy is still in the back of someone's
mind.
Counterpoint to "you never know", the games that come on cell phones are
lame too, but while you don't pay for each game individually, they do add
value to the phone as a whole, I've sure spent some time playing snake on my
Nokia.

I'm wondering the same thing myself, but I'm taking it one step further.
Why would anyone be? I for one thing gameplay is far more important than
how a game looks, BUT in this case the games will look horrible by todays
standards, and even the gameplay probably won't be that hot. It looks a real dud to me.
