Myself, as an Oric-1/Atmos fan - I'm very, very happy to be seeing this kind of enthusiasm for the old machines. In the Oric world, we're getting titles written for us in the last 15 years that we would never have believed possible back in the 80's during the time that the Oric was on the market. In case you're interested, check out the top-100 listing at http://oric.org/ http://oric.org/ - a lot of the titles in the top 20 of that list were made recently, with much enthusiasm by Oric fans who are really squeezing amazing results out of this old machine. EDIT: wanted to add - a great example of this is the work that Chema, of defense-force.org, is doing on his new OASIS engine for the Oric .. it includes a full-blown scripting engine, an editor, level loader/etc., and per his latest demo, is shaping up to be a game like no other made for the Oric-1 before .. check out the progress here - note, he posted new demo's this morning at the end of the thread: http://forum.defence-force.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1273 http://forum.defence-force.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1273
