err, there are more AGA machines with just 030's out there, for sure...but
you have to find the games that can run on that!
PPC is still a 'high risk' platform to develop for. there are ALSO a lot of
users with PPC who are still running AGA. yes, they are silly, but they do
it! :-|
I had a thought that the aim for last year should have been games that
required 040/060 + gfx card. this would allow a larger number of
people....and set a good foundation for the PPC + gfx card games - some
people dont seem to have liked the sudden 030+AGA -> PPC+gfxcard leap.
