CENSORSHIP AND 16-BIT!

Everyone has their own ideas about censorship in the software industry. In this month’s Split Screen we take a look at both points of view. It’s not just Martech who have created a hiatus, others are also at fault. On what side of the censorship fence do you fall?

So which is the best, the Atari ST or the Commodore Amiga? Should you splash out £400 on one of these 16-bit ‘wonder computers’, or are they all just sound and graphics? We compare both machines and find out if the software is up to the machines’ high specification.
