Title: Would something like this work on a classic Amiga?
Post by: CritAnime on January 22, 2013, 02:59:34 PM: I have been playing super hexagon a lot and I was wondering if something similar could be pulled off with say an AGA Amiga. It's something that wouldn't have seemed out of place back in the day.

I saw it a few days ago on a longlpay.
I am searching the name.

Possible without doubt check out Psyborg :) Fast and playable on OCS so a game like super hexagon would be running great on Amiga :)

Edit: Vince_6 - would be nice to know what game you were talking about :)

Vince_6 knew of one, hoping for a reply from him. The one closest I could think of was Psyborg, tho some elements of S.T.U.N Runner maybe is a bit similar gameplay but as far as I remember S.T.U.N Runner was no good on Amiga but decent on Arcade (never tried the C64 version).

Psyborg, well sorry for the delay. You are right, this was. I found also on Atari 8bit, it's a new game called Yoomp! Quite amazing.
