For a limited time (until 16. August 2002) H&P offer the full version of the amazing space-combat simulator from Hyperion at a very special price of 24 Euro.

What, a game distributed by H & P that makes no
mention as to wether (or not) it will run on their
OSXL or amithlon? *snort* :-P
-
Actually I've heard from Amithlon fanatics that Freespace runs good on Amithlon.

Nice price for a nice game - actually it was decent space sims that turned me over to the dark side - I bought my first PC cos I wanted to play Privateer 2 (now there's a game that I would love to see on the Amiga, and like Tombraider, it's not too intensive on the old graphics card and processors)..
hmm.. wonder if Freespace runs under WinUAE :lol:

Afaik, you either need a PPC or a 3D card to get Freespace to run. I tried the demo on WinUAE and it didn't want to run...

Nope !! There is a 68k-SW-renderer included.

Well there's a delemia then! It's a good price, and the sales would help Hyperion.

If they are the reason of the delay of Amithlon 2 I join that statement of yours 4pLaY.

This might sound strange coming from me, but give the guys a break.
The Amithlon/AmigaXL problems and the other licensing problems are issues in their own right and should not prevent anyone from buying Freespace or any other software title they happen to publish. After all, by doing so you'd be punishing the software authors at the same time as the publishers. What is more, we don't know for sure who or what is responsible for the Amithlon delay, so I personally wouldn't like to see any boycotts started on that pretext.
If anyone likes the idea of Freespace, don't let the identity of the publishers put you off.
Finally, yes, this 'ere Amithlon fanatic can confirm Freespace runs OK on Amithlon, with the software rendered graphics performing at a very acceptable speed indeed. The only frawback is that AFAIK the software renderer is limited to 8-bit colour only, so the quality of the display is nowhere near as good as that on my Windows version with hardware support.

I would say that H&P have done so much good for the amiga, that I would, if only I had the money, buy the game..
I have enjoyed more than one product from H&P.
Support them, I think that they have kept the amiga alive more than any one else...
Just my opinion..

Actually at 24Euro it sounds like either a "loss leader" or just a clearance(at little or no profit). Considering how little Amiga related titles sell 24Euro is probably what H&P paid to Hyperion:-(

I don't think that H&P paid xxx copies in advance, but that
only actual sales are paid to Hyperion

SW-Render or not, you will *need* somekind of 3D card.

Couldn't they do this a bit earlier? I've just bought the damn thing for the full price.
