D. of the Crown is quite possibly the most universally compatible game for the Amiga.

If by the three next gen OSs you mean MOS, AOS4 and AROS, then the answer is no since AROS is not binary compatible with AmigaOS. I don't see why a system-friendly game couldn't run on all models of real Amiga and also on MOS/OS4, but currently it would need to be ported to run on AROS.

Well, not quite true... Monkey Island (and Monkey Island 2) runs on any Amiga... and all three of the NextGen Amiga clones ;-)

Yes, but only because of ScummVM, which is a port. The game doesn't run natively on AROS :-P

That's a bit harsh! ScummVM is just a re-implementation of the game script interpreter... the actual game is from the very same disk that I used to play on my Amiga 500... in my book that counts as the same game... had the game itself been rewritten to work on other platforms then I would agree with you. :-)

Anyway the point is mute... Monkey Island, I'm sure needs 1mb ram... so the original A1000 is out.

-Edit-
I just checked the box... 512K required... 1Mb recommended... so maybe!!!

Well, I interpreted the OP's question as "which games run natively on all Amiga OS flavours". Although ScummVM uses the original game data files, the game itself doesn't work on AROS. You can't put a Monkey Island floppy disk in to an AROS machine and play it (or play it from an ADF (except with UAE (which isn't native (how many compound brackets do you think I can fit in to this post?))))

Well... An A1 or a MOS based machine can't read the Monkey Island disks... and they certainly won't run the original interpreter as it hits the hardware...

Lets call this one a draw before we drag another thread in to the gutter and start talking about poo or willies (or both).

Spoil sport... you know how much I love my poo and willies! :-D

Even more evidence that it's not a super-compatible game for all Amiga architectures ;-)

I realize I have kinda shot down my own argument here... but I hope that in the context of the original poster's comment, the requirement for a platform specific interpreter doesn't negate the fact that the game itself runs unchanged on all architectures :-)

Oh go on then, but just a small one!

I can't go now... :-(
