Leirbag28: ClickBOOM's Quake and Napalm both have screenmode requestors and are retargettable!

Hey those rotating 3D tunnels in Super Stardust will still amaze - they even scroll horizontally if I remember correct!

What I'm curious about though is Workbench compatibility. I always thought Workbench 3.0 and above needed AGA for things like Mode Promotion and No Flicker?

Anyone recommending an emulator over a real Amiga is gonna get electrodes attached to their nipples and 10,000 volts!

:griping:

Hey, the A3000's scandoubler/flicker-fixer... is it 8/8/8 on all guns? My EZ-VGA on the A1200 only gives me 16-Bit colour as opposed to 18-Bit AGA capability.

True, a big box Amiga - particularly with a GFX card is going to be nicer than a stock AGA system. Why not have both I say!

:-D
