Whoops, yes a typo. Sorry about that

I'm not trying to bash Alive as too many people have. In fact I ordered
from them a bit ago and they delivered what I wanted very quickly. One of
the things they didn't have, they posted later. I've read many of the
comments on ANN, and I'm sure people have had this experience with them.
All I know is that I ordered from Alive because a certain other Amiga mail
order company would take three months to send me my order.
Yeah, Alive were converting some good games, which makes it a shame they
have closed.
My biggest problem is companies throwing together CD's and selling them
for £15. All the games with the word Ultimate in front are like this, and
many of the compilations are the same. Hey if it's that easy to make £15
a time I think *I'll* start to do it.
