Apex Designs have cut the price of the Amiga version of Payback to 24.95 GBP just in time for Christmas. The game can be bought from their on-line shop here. For those of you who have already bought the game, there are also a couple of new/updated maps available on their Extra Maps Page.

Payback Price Reduction : Comment 36 of 38 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 25-Oct-2002 19:20 GMT | In reply to Comment 35 (Anonymous): Huh? What units are you counting in? A brand new PC game is more like GBP 40.00
Still, I agree with the earlier poster that this game is not a killer app. I think some Amigans have forgotten what a killer app really is. You have to do something completely new, that people can't get elsewhere. Something worth $1000 or however much it costs to buy the complete system.
People bought Amigas just to use a VideoToaster. People bought PCs just to run Lotus 1-2-3. People bought modems and signed ISP contracts to get Email (and more recently to get the World Wide Web).
BeOS people, frustrated by their inability to come up with a killer app for BeOS often talk about a second category, "dangerous apps", which they believe attract people who would otherwise be undecided about choosing their system. Payback could easily be a dangerous app, until it ships for the GBA, Linux and Windows. At which point its attraction is moot. |
