Hi Christos, maybe those people will rethink now, the situation may change. With Fruit at this level and more and more commercial engines at least we (the freaks and somehow addicted people) should not buy all, not without waiting for some tests. So a lot of disappointments to avoid like a new version that for the third time was not improved and anyway cost 50 bucks or buggy engines crashing on our machines. Fruit is a good example for a very reliable engine, it gives no problems at all here and I played already a few thousand games from the first release onwards and had not a single crash or other prob. This is in every aspect a dream engine, one that has become true. Best Regards Heinz
