Maybe I got confused. Wasn't GTA developed first on Amiga?

No, the first GTA was released in 1997 for the Playstation and Windows, more info here. At that time the Amiga was nothing more than a vague memory to most people, like it is now  ;-)

Hmmm. Maybe I was actually thinking about Payback the whole time I thought I was thinking about the original GTA. That could be it.  :oops:

The M-rated/18-certificate gameplay of GTA IV is the pinnacle of an eleven-entry series that began life in 1996 on the Commodore Amiga. As the Amiga grew old and technologically infirm, GTA’s creator, DMA Design, switched the development of the original game to the PC. Grand Theft Auto eventually hit the PSone in 1998, where the mighty Official PlayStation Magazine praised it to the heavens as “one of the most original, innovative, technically impressive and controversial PlayStation releases ever

I bought Payback when it first came out (whenever that was, a scary number of years ago I expect) when I had a BlizzardPPC/BVision setup.  Ran well on that.

This looks like a cross between GTA and Firepower!  

Anyone here play this before? What do you think of it?

I really like this game :-)
It runs fine on my A4000, 060@50Mhz, 128Mb Fast, Voodoo3 16mb.

Ahh, you've got a mediator type board that plays nice with the Voodoo3 I see. At what resolution are you able to smoothly play this game with your setup?

It runs playable on my 060/60 with Voodoo3, but it really flies on my Pegasos. Great sliding around with Comp pro usb on it It's good and versatile game... despite some small glitches.

Makes me chuckle to think that is the resolution of my phone  Too bad it does not have the horse power to run an Amiga emulator.

The Payback game is scalable by design- requirements are:

Minimum requirements: 68020 CPU, 16 MB RAM, 20 MB HDD, CD-ROM and AGA chipset.
Recommended hardware: 68040 CPU, 16 MB RAM or higher, 45 MB HDD, 6x-speed CD-ROM, gfx card.

hrmmm.  Anyone else run into this?  I set the demo to run NTSC:Low-Res or PicassoIV:320x240 8-bit, then run it.  It see the "Loading" screen, and then it blanks out.  I see the Workbench flash up a couple of times, but other than that, all black.

I'm using my PIV on a Dell FP-2001 (20.1" LCD.)  It doesn't even want to detect the signal settings.

The game makes sounds when I hit buttons, so the system is still running.  I'm on a CS MKIII, 128MB, PIV on an A4000D.

Launch ModePro, it shows what screen the program tries to open.

@LoadWB

Isn't there a setup program for ou to select the screenmode you want.
