I have to disagree, By 1993 could you could buy a PC for less than an A1200 and 030. And get a monitor, CDROM and soundblaster into the bargain. It would be faster as well.

As much as I love my Amiga, let's not try to change history here.

I am working from the assumption that you have the A1200 already, so only need the accelerator. On the other hand it was often the teenager in the family that had the A1200, so even £100 for an add-on card was a lot to pay.

"Multimedia" PCs cost a bloody fortune (£1500+) back in 93. At least around these parts. It wasn't until 95 that decent PCs became dirt cheap

I had a 486SX/25 with a Soundblaster/CDROM compared to my 500 it was a beast. Sold my 500 that year, had it since release though :-)

It was cheaper and hardware was more available at the time, and FPS games wow :-)

Was my first HP (hire purchase) Miss it, it was a Commodore version in a desktop case. The same one the A4000 was sold in.

Amazing machine, in the end use to run DesQview and QEMM memory manager so I could have two nodes for my BBS. One for me to logon with and the one connected to the phone line.

A mate of mine had a fully upgraded 500 he would dial in on, the ANSi would always look wrong on the Amiga.

Love ANSI art, have drawn a couple. Have lost the knack these days. Anyway getting OT :-)

Nice!

I remember pulling half the ram chips from the onboard Paradise VGA card and fitting them to my Gravis Ultrasound. :)

I eventually replaced the 486 CPU with a Pentium Overdrive which made it fly!

LOL what was I thinking :-)

I upgraded the heck out of that 486, in the end it was moved into a full tower with a 486 DX4-133. Which was on par speed wise to a P75.

Lugging it around LAN parties at the time was fun, unloading the 17" CRT monitor and tower :-) Cheap way to get my car lowered at the time.

Hiya,

Ok v1.06 released to AmiNet, this will probably be the last version as there is nothing else I want to do with it and can't get it any faster.

Quake 2


Now supports the Official Mission Packs (note, they are very demanding!)

Ground Zero
The Reckoning


I also did a quick RTG hack if anyone wants it -> RTG hack

I love it! Shame I cannot play it on my A1200, yet :(. My apollo need modification first to allow it support of additional 32 MB of RAM and be installed in a desktop case A1200. However, I need to cough up 300 dollars to do these modifications. I need to save up money first before I do this and it means my Amiga 1200 my be out of order again for another month before I can use it.

PS "I do not see the version released in aminet at all :("
