know what I find amazing.....?
« on: July 26, 2003, 03:00:52 AM »
here is what I find amazing, there is a tremendous amount of people in here that claim to dislike the beautiful 3d renderd games that are written for the pc, and bost the AMAZING plethora of CRAPPY amiga games and also claim to love them for their retro look feel and simpleness, and claim that they have no interest in those 3d renderd games that are  on the pc untill.......SOMEONE PORTS IT to the amiga, then its a whole different story.

I am not talking about the whole Amiga.org commuity, the people with this type of mentality know who they are.
There was a time I can remember computers were fun...I miss my A1200.

I dont care what the platform is, if the game is good I like it, I also like alot of eyecandy and realism.  The amiga was good for the time at games but has lost the battle.

@ Ilwrath

I agree, there have been a hell of alot of games on the amiga that I had to add patches/hacks to just to play a game in slow motion on a 060/50Mhz 4000 with cv643d and 118Megs ram.  The amiga is anything but free from its installation problems when it comes to playing modern games.

ok ok Grant it, windows has it problems also, but I have to say that I for the most part have no problems playing games on the PC with windows (LINUX SUCKS!)  I dont really have the type of performance problems that others here have stated.

And yea, ok 3d is not every thing, but it is a nice thing, I dont play constant midless shooting games all the time and if a game seems like somthing that I have already played, I dont buy it, like red alert 2, ages of empires, dune2, dune 2000, outpost,Jerasic park (sucked),  yadda yadda yadda, I liked dune 2 on the amiga and I have bought red alert 2 for the pc and love it, but I would not ever buy ages of empires or anything that looks so similar in game play.  I also like UT and Q3 team arena, but I am not a very big fan of DOOM, DOOM2, or Quake1.  I love race games and space games and games like tomb raider.  

JUST BECAUSE THERE ARE ALOT OF GAMES OUT THERE THAT ARE SIMILAR, THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO BUY THEM, use your best judgement, I can not see playing the same game with just a differant name on it over and over again, and if thats what some of the Amiga people who complaine alot about PC/Mac games do, then hell, I dont want to be the one in the store asking them for an opinion,  those type of people should stay to Amiga magazine cover disks for their games.
