Some tough one easy. > >Terry I would be happy if I could agree with you but unfortunately I no longer believe in an equal battle. At least Hydra seems out of reach, although I agree that Adams played poor. If it comes to a battle with a PC-Engine there might be a chance for a drawn match for the Top-Players but no chance to win a match. You know they all _could_ beat the machines if they would play 6 perfect games (as they do from time to time) but they can't play 6 perfect games in a row. :-( regards Joachim
