Really looking forward to the blog on this!

Also, I notice a lot of demo's are using ADPCM for their tracks, which apparently has a lot less processor overhead to play than mp3, but similar sound quality. File sizes are about double. You might want to convert some of your music to this for the experiment.

eg: Lightshaft soundrack (by elude) zips down to 7,890K (16 bit, 230 kbps).

As Cammy points out, shapeshifter can be really handy (and fun).
When I was doing my HND in graphic design, I could not afford a Mac, but my Amiga handily filled the gap with Illustrator and photoshop through shapeshifter.

Yes, yes it is :)
Runequest to me was always like the amiga. Far superior to the mainstream but just didn't make it the same way. At least its still being published.


Classic game. Played RQ2 a lot when I was younger. We stick to Call of Cthulhu these days...

Back on topic: Your amiga will probably web browse faster than my laptop. I find flash anims can bring my PC to it's knee's if I forget flash block. Something an Amiga won't have to worry about.
