Yes and it was a shame. The original development team poured talent and sweat into floating what turned into a hot computer for its day, only to see it grounded on the sand of Commodore's beach. Not only did Commodore fumble the marketing, but in rushing to finish up the design, they killed it with cheap plastic under-engineered shoddy case design. Only those with the X-ray vision of a dedicated byte-head could see the true appeal of the thing. I can't fathom any company taking the risk to return this little piece of early 80's nostalgia to the market in the current climate. But, I would really enjoy playing Arctic Fox again on today's processor with today's 3-D graphics. HerbVic
