    Not still. There was a resurgence. In the naughties, 68k classic was stone cold dead, people simply weren't interested with the NG machines out. I can say that from some confidence from the number of 68k builds of software, and the number of downloads, and the interest in 68k ports in general. What happened to Amithlon in particular seemed to gut interest in 68k beyond a very low emulator-based level, though I admit classic accelerators still sold for some reason.

    It's only recently the retro scene has made a comeback. And, before 3.1.4, it had all the indicators of being healthy and vibrant - you know, like that of other platforms. That's why I said earlier in this thread that I'd prefer Hyperion have no part in the retro. And boy was I proven right. Trouble follows them like stink follows a skunk.
