Hmmm...the graphics are still 800x600 dpi, I see. Too bad
my Voodoo3 card can't handle the required approximately
11200x6600 resolution required, then... :-P
Seriously though, I wish Epic could put up some technical
information on their games. Like for example what languages
are supported, what hardware is required, and what third party
software is required (WarpUp, Picasso96, AHI etc.)
Apart from that, I'm glad to see there are still people releasing
games for the Amiga. I'm currently waiting for my copy of The
Feeble Files...:-)

I'm with Kay on this one. I need to know the required specs, and a playable demo would also be nice!
I also heard a rumour that the PPC version of this particular game was only for MorphOS...can someone clear this one up for me?

Epic really don't seem to want to put up tech specs for thier games do they.
I am interested in getting Feebe files but have no idea if it will run on WinUAE, if it needs AGA or a GFX card, how much memory it needs, Hard drive space, the list goes on!
I want to support the remaining Amiga developers, but I rarely buy software completely blind, without at least knowing the specs or trying a demo!

Found this on GFX-BASE:
"GFX-BASE: Can you give us details on the system-requirements? (PPC/68k/gfx-card support)
Mr. Horbach: PPC is for sure, 68k is not (if it is going to be 68 you will need a 060 Processor), 32MB fastmem and gfx-card support."
As for the Feeble Files, I'm getting my copy one of these days, so I'll tell you then. In the mean time I'll email Epic and ask if they can put the system requirements on their webpage.

Just saw a press release over at ANN, with system requirements
and everything included:
"...requires an Amiga with 68060/50 OR a PPC CPU, a 4 MByte gfxboard and 32 MByte RAM. The game requires AmigaOS 3.x, the PPC version runs under WarpOS. A special 16 Bit MorphOS/Pegasos version is also supplied on the CD."
So that's good news then! And yes, the game is available in English and German. Now it only remains to be seen whether it's a good game or not, and I'll consider buying it. :-)
