Title: Where canI buy the game Malice for Amiga?
Post by: AmigaClassicRule on December 21, 2012, 05:06:56 PM
I really like this game Malice as you see from Amiga hall of light http://hol.abime.net/5446
 
Any idea where can I buy this? Thanks in advance.

It's not an Amiga game. It's a total conversion for Quake (but is compatible with Amiga Quake ports). It saw wide release as a PC product, so keep your eyes peeled on eBay or other used game shops.

But why is it in Amiga hall of light with AGA as minimum requirement?

Because after Quake was released for the Amiga by ClickBoom in 1998 a bunch of Amiga shops and magazines started taking a look at and stocking PC Quake add-ons because they're 100% compatible with the Amiga version.

AGA was listed as the minimum requirement for Amiga Quake, but it sure wouldn't have been pleasant. Even an 060 is barely adequate.

Malice.... I just installed that on my Classic XBOX the other day. :)

Good luck finding a copy, you are ahead to find a torrent honestly.

EDIT: I take that back, it is on Ebay!

There's plenty here

You can also try the rare Shrak also,but if you want plenty of stress try Aftershock.

I want to complete Malice but I'm awaiting if possible a 16bit PPC version.

Shrek is one of my favorites too! Put a grappling hook in a game and I'm usually sold. :)

Oooh, I understand. Malice is really an Add-on for Quake itself and it is a PC game that is 100% compatible to the Amiga Quake but even on a 060 with AGA it is unenjoyable regardless of all of this trouble?
 
Thanks guys for everything, by the way..perhaps someone who are looking for this game will find their answer here. I guess I have enough Amiga games on my plate I can do without since it is going to be really slow on AGA. Better keep it for A4000 RTG mode then.

Yeah, it's essentially a mod like Capture the Flag and Team Fortress.  It just happens to be a commercial product rather than a freeware one.  It'll work in RTG mode, of course. It'll work in any screen resolution you can run Quake in. Most (all?) of the Amiga Quake ports over the years are RTG-friendly.  It just so happens that a 68k chip just isn't powerful enough to make Quake enjoyable, in my opinion.

If you end up getting it, you can always use it on your PC/Mac/Linux box (with Quake installed) if you find the Amiga too slow.
