There's an '060 demo on Aminet with a nice 3D Tombraider style engine.

It shows a woman walking around a 3D world and jumping from a waterfall etc.

I think it was by TBL but I can't remember what it was called.

All I remember was that the '060 code used some program made by some guy called Harry Sintonen...

:-D

Man, if they had gotten some sort of 3D game out of that it would have been cool.

Another good demo was Magia by TBL:

Anyway, Heretic 2 can be viewed from a 3rd person view can't it?

There's a lot of software out there that promises everything and delivers nothing. I felt more than a little dissapointed by some Sonic The Hedgehog demo on an Amiga emulation site. Looked like it was someone's first attempt on AMOS!

:-D

The good stuff usually uses a lot of Assembly language, C or even Blitz Basic.

With the Playstation 1 it only had a 33Mhz CPU, probably no more powerful than an '040 40Mhz. Really we should have had a 3D chip long before the Blizzard Vision PPC's Permedia 2.

One could always try mounting a tiny PSone motherboard into a 5.25" drive bay and genlock the output with the Amiga's. I wonder if you made your Workbench background a pure blue whether some sort of chromakey would allow you to have Tombraider running on Workbench without some expensive Picasso-IV TV-in combo...

Surely the greatest video game character of all time has to be Professor Monkey For A Head (Earthworm Jim).

So this is where Tombraider has been spotted on Amiga? A PPC-based Playstation emulator?
