On the subject of games, while I have in my collection from one source or another just about every game ever written for the Amiga, the most annoying and dumbest thing ever imho, was the advent of 'trainers' that the cracking scene put into games. :(

I mean how on earth can you have a "trainer" for a game, it defeats the whole challenge and purpose of playing the game in the first place, you'd be as well just formatting the floppy on which it came and asking someone, what happened at the end of that game. :rolleyes:

While these days I appreciate the cracking crews making it easy for old amiga games to be collected and preserved in ADF or DMS format, I just wish they hadn't put in those so called 'trainers' that I've had to spend over a decade removing from them... :furious:

If you have to cheat at a game to play it then your missing the point of playing it in the first place... :)

They did it for people like me who suck at games, though I just tend to not play them for that reason.


Being crap at playing a game is no excuse, you just need to try harder... :biglaugh:

Or better and more interesting still is do what I do and write WHDLoad slave files for them, sometimes it's actually better than playing the game... :)

Just been testing the following, all be it on my 060 Amiga, running each at max resolution, full audio etc... :)

AB3d - Smooth as a babies bum
Fears - Ditto
Breathless - the same

Doom - Jerky & lots of glitches, not even close to being as playable or enjoyable as any of the above... :(

(couldn't test them on any of my 030 miggies as their all in bits just now... :))

Weird. I've seen Doom run pretty well on 040's. What port were you using ?


Not sure I'd need to check, strange thing is I don't remember it being so bad when I ran it on my Blizzard060 board, but on my Blizzard060/PPC board it seems a bit glitchy and slower somehow than the last time I played it on the plain 060...

Need to dig out the plain 060 and compare the two... :)

If anybody is interested, I found my old AB3D 2 mod. Not sure it is complete, but here it is regardless:

Just tried to download your file but all I got was a window full of text... :(

Someone once told me here how to get round this but now I can't remember how... :(

Try right-click and "save as", or whatever your browser's equivalent is...


That did the trick... Cheers Karlos... :)

Just need to dig out AB3D 2 now (for some reason I don't seem to have it installed on my HD just AB3D 1)...

It'll be nice to try out new levels someone else has created as when you make your own there's not much point in playing them, as you already know all the secrets... :)

I didn't really make new levels, just modified/reskinned a few of them :)


That'll do for me... :)

@ Karlos

Gonna give it a try tomorrow, need to finish of a few other things first, cos I know once I start playing it again with your new update every other project will get put on hold until I discover all it's secrets... :)

So, did you try it?


Not yet, been busy with a lot of other projects right now and I'm just about to check out the new iMacG5 i've just taken delivery of, but rest assured I'll be giving it a go (probably later on tonight or tomorrow) and I'll report back on it... :) (better be good... :lol: )
