This is followed by a story about the game's troubles to make it work on an Amiga.
At the beginning the programmers were happy and did rejoice at their task,
for the Amiga before them did shineth and was full of promise. But then they
did look closer and did see'th the awful truth; it's floppies were tiny and
sloweth (rareth was its hard drive). And so small was it's memory that did at
first appear large; queereth also was its configuration(s).
Then they did findeth another Amiga, and this was slightly different from the
first. Then a third, and this was different again. All different, but not
really better, for all were psuedo backward compatible. But, eventually, it
did come to pass that Steel Sky was implemented on a 1meg os-legal CBM Amiga.
And the programmers looked and saw that it was indeed a miracle.
But they were not joyous and instead did weep for nobody knew just
what had been done.(developer message: Angus Manwaring)
