Hm, reading lips throught the mailing list is rather hard :-D

Sorry, but IMHO, it will go down to 5, max!

The nice thing of building games is having people play
the game. And yes, I definitely find it more satisfying
when more people buy/download/lay their hands on a game

Doesn't exactly this statement bring down the point
you're trying to prove above? :-)

I think the main reason for developers avoiding tR-specific
games is that the added value of tR above MSX2 is close to none
_and_ most developers don't have a tR, so they can't test wether
their super-duper-only-tR-can-do-it FX really work. And again,
the difference in enjoyment gotten from having 25 people play
your game as opposed to maybe 5 is quite high, I think.

Pessimism? I think your 20/25 ratio is rather optimistic :-)
