Flight of the amazon queen... i have the full game on my machine... somewhere... damn these multi gigabyte drives!

i remember seening the screen shots of megarace and drooling slightly. then the bloke who ran the college computer dept. got a copy and installed it on one of the PC's there. my god it was pants. it was just streaming video for the track and a little car sprite that moved left and right... no realtime stuff like wipeout, or hell, lotus2!

then the computer guy got fired for copying games on college premises. tsk tsk tsk...

To be honest, i would have still bought Lost Eden. just for something to go "wow" at after i lent my microcosm disc to a "friend" and it came back with a diry great scratch on it :pissed:

and a pre-rendered game isn't so bad as an adventure game like monkey island etc. etc.

but i was sore at mega race. i love racing games and it made me sick that they could even think to release something like that.

what ever happened to inferno? ok so prerendered cut scenes but i think there was an element of being able to "go do something else" other than play the same piece of video as a mission.

what gets me is, what has happened to the source code for these games? i think magic carpet was pretty near final release, but the basic CD32 isn't gutsy enuff to run it. i'd love to see a miggy "release" of the dusted of source, like that flight sim that CUamiga released from oceans vaults. so what if it needs an 030/040 with 16Mb fast ram. how many users machines don't more than exceed those specs anyway?

once again pie in the sky stuff. i'm going out for a smoke to get my feet back on the ground... but i can dream.... :-D
