Total Chaos AGA looks about 10 MILLION times better than Total Chaos ECS.  AGA version has 1000x better gameplay too. http://totalchaoseng.dbv.pl/news.php

Roadkill AGA, SlamTiltAGA, Banshee AGA,
Wanna try a wonderfull strategy game with lots of handdrawn anims,
Magic Spells and Monsters, Incredible playability and lastability,
English speech, etc. Total Chaos AGA

I've told you a trillion times, don't exaggerate :roflmao:

Seriously though, at best, it can only look say 8x better (assuming 256 colours versus 32), maybe 4x better again if it were hires lace versus lores :)

Individual palette entries might even be 4096x better, but I don't think that's most objective metric...

Total Chaos AGA vs ECS:
ECS version: 320x256
AGA version 640x512 (The ONLY playable animated AGA game to be this HIRES)
4x better

ECS version colors on main playfield at any instant: 64
AGA version colors on main playfield at any instant: 256 (some versions have 272)
4x better
4x x 4x = 16x better game.

Artistic quality is 256x better and if you saw how bad the ECS gfx were, you wouldn't be arguing :D

16 x 256 = 4096x better which I conveniently rounded up to the nearest 10 million :D

But there are many HAM8 information screens in the AGA game which have those 4096x better pallete entries @ 4x the resolution so that is 16384x better in that regard.

As to the gameplay it really is 10 million times better because there are over 10 million new levels and every level has over 10 million additional possibilities and there are over 10 million new magic spells in the game.  So nyah! :razz:
