I often wondered, if that was possible, so, in theory, was an RTG patch for it. That said, I got the impression the final game used a ropey 12-bit truecolour copper hack in the end...

Well, anything is possible, but I think an RTG patch is beyond my capabilities.

I strongly doubt that ;-)

Incidentally, isn't the original AB3D source included in the TKG sourcecode set?

Just getting that to assemble was a nightmare... ;-)

@Karlos
The sources for both AB3D and AB3D2 are on aminet. However, to give you an idea of how horrible they are, I found my sparsly commented disassembly of AB3D *far* easier to understand and navigate than the actual source code ;-)

@Xeron

Yeah, I battled with that source code for some time. I was trying to modify it to get it to assemble in phxass. No chance :lol:

Half the trouble was actually figuring out what was used and what wasn't. I've never seen such a disorganised mass of files outside /tmp

Some of the entry point labels were amusingly named at least. I especially liked this one
