VERY COOL!

If anyone tests this on MorphOS, lemme know how it pans out!

Guess the OS4 version doesn't work very well on MorphOS, but I've been playing the Morphos port for over 4 years now.

ps. Homeworld is a pretty good game as well

Don't forget there's also version of first Descent Freespace, which (I think) uses more advanced engine than the original one.

There is a Freespace 2 total conversion of the original Freespace, if that's what you mean.

In fact there is a whole community built around the Freespace 2 engine here.

@delshay

With a G-Rex and 256MB of fastram MorphOS version should work on your 1200.

Well then, that takes care of that!

I wonder if there are any Star Wars based TC's out there for it? :)

Dunno, but there's a Babylon one and a Battlestar Galactica one (beyond the red line) :)

Ya, but where is the romance, comedy, drama, exploration of mystical realities, samurai code & honor, and all that junk?

You can only get all that in Star Wars! ;)

I'm a 680x0 user only at this point. So I consider my self neutral, though I will confess that OS 4.1 seems to be something that only the rich kids can enjoy, hence my reasons for being so eager to jump onto the MorphOS bandwagon. That and the fact that I've heard nothing bad about it yet.

Either way, I'm glad we have options, I'm glad we got MorphOS, Amiga OS 4.1, AROS, and out beloved 680x0 machines. Hell, I'll throw Haiku in with the list, just for the fact that BeOS almost was the future at one time. I wouldn't have it any other way, it keeps things interesting.

I have to agree, I think OS4.x costs to much to try out just because of its expensive hardware, I was planning on buying a SAM440-flex for a while but because its quite expensive and I might not like it I went for MorphOS instead, I just bought a Mac Mini and im waiting for a PSU then ill get rolling.

Tho I ofc will try out AmigaOS 4.1 before I say anything bad about it. but for now ill put my money on MorphOS and ill might give AmigaOS 4.x a go later on.

but as said, ive heard alot of negative feedback about AmigaOS 4.x but ive heard little to nothing negative about MorphOS?

So I would like someone to point out something negative about MorphOS
