John Wilson of FORE-MATT stated "FORE-MATT Home Computing are pleased to be working with a company who still believes in the Amiga platform. We are committed to selling and distributing great games from the past, present and future for the Amiga community. Emerald Imaging have shown that great original games can still be made for the Amiga and we hope to see this continue."

Kelly Samel from the Canadian company who developed AQUA had this to say "Emerald Imaging is pleased to be working with FORE-MATT Home Computing in the world-wide distribution of Aqua. Working with FORE-MATT will ensure that Aqua is available world-wide for all Amiga users. We look forward to Aqua being available through many Amiga dealers, including FORE-MATT Home Computing and directly from our website. It's all about opening up choice and offering quality software and service to Amiga customers and dealers. We feel we will succeed in this goal thanks to Aqua gaining a wide scope of availability and appeal."

From the MAD README:

MAD has the following special features:

• 24-bit PCM output
• 100% fixed-point (integer) computation
• completely new implementation based on the ISO/IEC standards
• distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL)

Because MAD uses integer computation rather than floating point, it is well suited for architectures without a floating point unit. All calculations are performed with a 32-bit fixed-point integer representation.
