I don't hate it in itself, and I think some AGA games look amazing (Ruff 'n' Tumble springs to mind as an example).

I think what a lot of people resent is that it was too little too late, and that AGA was so quickly overtaken by other platforms' graphics hardware with no hope of an update from Commodore :(


Ruff 'n' Tumble looks like an AGA game but is actually OCS/ECS.  I thought it was AGA too until I tried it on my A500 and it worked!  Hats off to the coders.

Just goes to show what can be done with crusty old OCS in the hands of talented coders.  Its a shame we didnt see more from those guys.

AGA needed more features like hardware transparency, sprite scaling and rotation...
