will games work on amiga 1200?
« on: January 26, 2012, 12:17:26 AM »
dear friends;

I am thinking about buying a couple amiga games on amibay,
but the seller does not know if they work on amiga 1200.
Can anyone tell me if they know ?
the games are
-knights of the sky
-double dragon
Will these games work on amiga 1200 with 030 -no fpu-

Thank you !!!

Most things can be made to work with Degrader. If that doesn't work there's of course WHDLoad.

yes and yes. just tried the wdhdload versions on my 1200. I have an 060, not an 030 though.

the double dragon seemed be pretty lame though. Perhaps the graphics are a little more crisp, but the sound is better on the NES version.

Most games will run. There's some limits. If you have a hard drive, WHDload is the way to go. Otherwise try degrader or relokick and most games can be persuaded to run.

I used to run Knights of the Sky quite a lot on my A1200, 030 with 32Mb of RAM. It worked great. That used to be my main games Amiga. I really miss it!
A2000 GVP 40MHz \'030, 21Mb RAM SD/FF, 2 floppies, internal CD-ROM drive, micromys v3 w/laser mouse
A1000 Microbotics Starboard II w/2Mb 1080, & external floppy (AIRdrive)
C-128 w/1571, 1750, & Final Cartridge III+
