Oh dear. I havent seen many MOS games that look any better than old Amiga ones. Battle Squadron looks better than this :(

@ Methanoid
I think you need to thoroughly clean your glasses, buddy :-) The game looks pretty good. I have yet to see a brand new game ported to MorphOS or similar operating systems that looks better.
Battle Squadron, on the other hand, looks about as dated as one would expect. Maybe if I was a fan of largely pink and green levels, I would appreciate it more.

It's a nice game actually :)
Graphics are cool, and it's really enjoyable. Haven't managed to play it with mouse though as keyboard is way more easy for my taste.
Thanks

My point.. not many good looking games for MOS... It's a sad fact but the market is too small to attract top developers and their games :(

This game looks rather pretty good for what it aims, and it's an original game from a small team.
Regarding ports, we have a couple ports from 5-10 year old pc games that went opensource or were reimplemented, that might probably look good by your standards (freespace2, homeworld, quake1/2/3, warzone2100, warcraft2, ...), or ports from original opensource games like freeciv, wesnoth, xmoto that look and feel good too. And if you're more into the arcade/console "oldstyle" games, we have emulators for most of the games of the "2d" era (MAME, Snes9X, genesis+, MESS, FPSE, ...). :)
But you're totally right, we can't really attract many commercial developers on our platforms, obviously.

Doesn't look too bad to me:

I'd say that was pretty fluid and with a nice mix of texturing and what seems to be hand pixelled graphics. What's wrong with it?

How about Robin Hood, lovely gfx IMHO. And BirdieShoot :) And VGP2 looks pretty good too (especially with VGPHD texture sets).

This blows Battle Squadron away, easily.
AWESOME!!!!

Looks like something halfway between Super Stardust and PS3 Stardust HD to me. Can't really see the comparison to Battle Squadron as that's a vertical blaster.
One PC game that would work great on AROS/MOS/OS4 would be The Reap, a beautiful isometric blaster from the makers of Stardust/Super Stardust which brought Neo-Geo's Viewpoint right up to date on Win98/95 machines in the 90s.
