New AGA game: Strife!

[fishy_fiz]

Amazing some of things that are happening of late, thinking I might have to tower my A1200 and go RTG :-)

Gentic species runs really fast too, just wished I could get a higher res but for some reason they have only allowed that for RTG Amiga's.... when the indivision could handle it fine.

Indivision AGA in no way speeds things up. Its not a graphics card. It simply allows for a more flexible display with AGA. IndiECS does have a framebuffer and grafitti emulation though, and can squeeze a little more out of machines that are using it.

Back on topic however. Very cool. I'll have to check this game out. Thanks to the person behind the port (whos name I cant recall at the moment

Nah, humble ol' 40mhz apollo '040 here. It is a mach131 card though, so I'll upgrade it to something along those lines eventually. Having to make do with a stock a1200 while waiting for card to be upgraded and returned has been the main reason Ive ot done it yet

Backtracking a little, but it seems to run reasonably well on '030 judging by Cammy's video. Having not played the game yet I cant say for sure, but it mostly appears a little slower vs the 060 video rather than losing much fluidity. Given the game style that shouldnt really hurt though.

It's "funny" how well these style games can run on our old 68k/custom chipset amigas, given that at the time these games were new their lack of performance played a part in people moving on to other platforms.

Ah sorry, Id forgotten about that (Indi mk2 having same sort of features as IndiECS).

I could be mistaken, but I have a vague memory of Genetic Species giving options for higher resolutions when the updates have been applied, whether being used on aga or RTG. Not really relevant, but I think textures could be upgraded to 16 or 24 bitcolor as well for RTG. Its been a while, so thake this with a grain of salt

Back of topic however I've,... err,... "acquired" game files, so will check out Strife after dinner
