@Noster on Speedball II
You should use an Amiga to play it. It is still fantastic and full of action, whenever I meet one of my old Amiga-friends for a retro-night, we play it.
I am running it on an AMiGA... even though I find UAE becoming nicer and nicer with each release I don't like playing games on it... it doesn't really feel like playing on a real AMiGA. But like I said, I am a sucker for smooth scrolling... and unless we are talking about strategy games and the like, I can't play games with jerky scrolling. I don't know what FPS we are talking about exactly in Speedball II, but something around 7-8 FPS maybe...
@Noster on Dune II
I don't agree with you, it was the first game of this kind followed by many others (e.g. Command&Conquer on PC) and was a fantastic game. It has too few levels but it isn't to hard to play and I don't know what you've done but you can controll multiple units at the same time, the control is equal to all the following games of this kind. -- EDITED -- Sorry, failure of mine, it was too long ago since I've played it, there is only a single unit controlable at the time, but nevertheless I think it is a great game (still located on my HD, maybe I will play it again the next days)
Yes, I completely agree on that point... it became a trendsetter, oh, and not only the slightest! Without Dune II I don't think we would have seen the wave of strategy games in the veins of Warcarft, Command & Conquer, Red Alert and the like so soon. But, even though that very fact I can't play it without being bothered. Back then it was great... because there was nothing that it could be compared with, or nothing with such class... but, still... oh, well... you know... :lol:
@Defender of the faith on Moonstone
WHAT?? Actually, Moonstone is one of the rare few amiga games which doesn't entirely suck after all the years (IMO). I still play it once in a while.
Well, I love the concept... and actually I like the game... but, it just feels so dated. With some updated graphics, smoother control and such, it could be the bomb... but, that won't happen that soon, I guess. But, sure, I understand how you feel... :-)
@Rayt on Chaos Engine
Which version did you try out? I had slow scrolling using the cd32 whdload version on A1200/030.. but then I tried out the aga whdload version and the scrolling was perfectly smooth..
Well, the scrolling ain't slow... it isn't simply smooth. Instead of showing each pixel scrolling (like in Turrican II) it shows like every 4th... but, I will try out the other versions because the CD32 orignal version is the only one I've played recently.
