    Well, SDL ports are nice, but... SLOOOOOOOW!



    Some are slow, some are okay, and none are responsive and quick. Madbomber! was okay and there are other okay SDL ports. But none that I've tried are speedy.

    I think that's a handicap for programs using SDL and similar libraries. It also goes against MorphOS' great strength of responsiveness.

    However it should be possible to get a good result out of SDL for apps and certain styles of games.

    If you're bummed out by not-fast SDL ports go try AsteroidsTR which definitely doesn't use SDL.
