Vulcan Software Limited and Amiga, Inc. announce new relationship

[Tripitaka]

You mock, but this move is exactly the sort of thing I've been expecting. Classic Amiga games running on various hardware is just one necessity in order to move away from custom chipsets, AInc have stated previously that OS5 is hardware independent and even the new (presumably OS4) machines have no custom chipset like our beloved classic miggy's. Obvious marketing patterns have been forming for some time now and many are refusing to see them due to Cynisism about AInc. Step back from the years of Amiga related frustration and see what's going on with an open mind.
How would any of us on this forum try to relaunch the Amiga OS? I for one would take a positively insidious approach, hardware independence and making classic software available within the new OS (and indeed, other OS's) makes good sense.

Well, i believe that they suck. They should try to port games from other platforms to the Amiga, not the other way around.

...and run them on what?
I know, let's port Elder Scrolls 3 to the A1200.......sheesh.

@AmigaMance

There are non-Amiga owners who would appreciate playing Vulcan's games too. Many of them don't like the idea of messing about with emulation via WinUAE and such, so what's your problem with this?
I understand your frutration with the lack of titles available for your nice ppc card and that you'd like to see more ports but that's not going to happen with such a tiny market. The long and short of it is that if your realistic about this the only way your going to get those ports is DIY. The classic Amiga is a retro hobby computer, accept it.

@ shillard

I am only stating AInc's proposed plans.
If, you have decided in your obviously infinite wisdom that nothing AI say that they will do will actualy happen then why bother commenting on this thread? It is, after all a plan from AInc that the threads about in the first place, I'm suprised you bothered to read it.

I'm glad to see someone here is still sane.
