Everything released by Sega after the Mega Drive/Genesis was completely failure. Including the Game Gear, which is a good handheld console - I love playing it's games under AmiMasterGear.

Yes. I loved AmiMasterGear as well. Can this be played under a Blizzard PPC and graphics card?

No, AmiMasterGear directly bangs the AGA hardware (that's why it's fast and gets reasonable speed even on Blizzard 1220) and disables multitasking, but you might try with MasterGear:
MasterGear1_5
MasterGear2_0

There also is Mega Drive emulator - AmiGenerator, but it's deadly slow on any current 680x0 configuration. Never saw it's performance on PPC.

I wish AmiMasterGear would run on my setup. If only there was a patch for it to run on my setup up. Then i'd be happy, at the moment, it runs far too fast!


AmiMasterGear is released as GPL. The latest update wasn't made by the author (who doesn't work on it anymore), so there is possibility that it can be updated for the modern Amigas as well.

They are now focussed as a software company now so. In the olden days we used to see games like 'Out Run' being ported not only to the Sega Master System, Game Gear, Megadrive, Saturn & Dreamcast (In Shenmue 2) but also on the Speccy, Amstrad, C64, Amiga & I think, IBM PC compatables (I think).

These ports weren't done by Sega themselves, but being licensed to third party software developers. And some ports were total crap - Out Run done by US Gold is almost totally unplayable. Altered Beast by Activision was better, but still not that good. I mostly like the Super Hang-On Amiga version, which was done by Electric Dreams and they didn't ruined it. Out Run Europe is good too and there are many more Amiga ports of Sega games, some of them are good some not.

But currently the situation isn't the same as it used to be back in the late 80ties/early 90ties. I see only Hyperion are licensing games from other platforms and they are only PC games.

There is always fun seeing your favourite game on different platforms, having own spirit/features with every other version, and a basis for comparing your preferable machine to the others.
