For retro gamers I would reccomend the Blizzard 1230-IV over the 1260. It doesn't need any modifications to SetPatch or the libraries and dummy libraries associated with a 1260. It also works at full speed without having to enter Workbench for the libraries to take effect. The downer is that Alien Breed 3D/3D2 will be 4x slower on the 1230-IV and so too games like Nemac-IV, Breathless, Quake, Doom, XTreme Racing etc.


Hi Hyperspeed,

please forgive me if this is a widely known issue, but I'm a returning Amiga user (after at least 10 years) - but why would Alien Breed 3D and the other 'Doom' clone games be slower on a Blizzard 1230-IV (I'm assuming slower than a stock standard A1200)?.

Thanks,

I guess he means slower than the 1260, which would make sense as it is a faster card.
