It looks like the graphics in my (unofficial, unlegal) quake3 alpha...
Not bad, but not better than my Unreal. I hope it'll change when the pc version comes (read: voodoo3 and P3 version). And it doesn't look like it has as much style as Quake2 (you know, the space-metallic style) or Quake1 (like an old horror movie:-). And why didn't they leave the font. It's more effects, less style and art...
Perhaps the effects will blow us away, when we get to see it ourself...
...and I would have liked to see a screenshot of the menu system...
The atari was much better that other computers back then. I had a built-in os, nice bombs to show you that somthing had exploted and a nice soundcard. That was before "The Blue Screen of Death", soundblaster and other modern stuff...
I use to play civilization on my fathers old ST;-). And it only had 2 megabytes of ram. It always worked. There were always a OS to boot, always some (mostly german) public domain programs and games to play. And the floppy drive in the Atari ST was much faster than those in the Amiga 500:-)
I like the idea that it could possible replace a harddisk. Harddisks - as we know them - has been used since 1981... But well, even the newest harddisks are not fast and big enough.

Am I the only one, who is waiting for nintendo's new system instead? As far as I know, it will use DVD as well...

Some of the new games are 8mbit. Warioland 2 for example. ... I think...not quite sure...
A few new color games are 16mbit
