Heya Odin, yeah I'm still alive. :)
How are you ?

About the HellChess version, I just updated the archive coz there were some problems running the ECS/AGA version. It's also now ignoring a unable to open sound message if people are using AHI.

Colours will be displayed wrongly on Voodoo3 cards and alikes so I'll have to look into that. :)

Cheers!

Actually it was really slow coz I simply forgot to enable my chunky2planar routines. :)

A new version will be available soon, including the PPC compile.. Don't give up hope just yet!

:)

I want to agree with you!
Writing software specificly for the Amiga is the best way to go amiga wise, using the best out of the hardware available.

There is a huge BUT to this though, how many people are you targetting ? Less than 5% of the whole computer community. Besides, the Amiga is strong enough the handle the direct port of the Windows version, and aiming at a 200 MHz machine is really not asking alot these days. Currently this means you'll need the PPC and hey,.. we happen to have one. :)

Nevertheless I agree it performs like {bleep} on my 040 aswell and I was dissapointed 2. Therefor I will try to make a lite version using more amiga specific parts.

Cheers!
