Alone in the Dark

What this made me wonder about was the possability of getting something like this going on a classic Amiga, cracked out 060 or less. Oddly enoguh though, the Free in the Dark sources seem to be missing from the Sourceforge site.

Alone in the Dark runs perfectly on a 040/25 with Shapeshifter+AGA (I didn't test it with anything less but on PC it ran fine with a 286/16Mhz, so no reasons for it to be slow). A 030 with MMU should run it smoothly.

I wouldn't even try and to get this game running on 030 anyway, I guess it's technically possible but it would be a huge amount of effort and would take a lot of skill.   Much easier to just port the SDL version and target 040/060.

I actually had the original DOS code on my HD once, probably lost it by now.

Anyone feel like attempting a 68k SDL port?

DOS code? you mean original Alone In The Dark sources? that's cool!

I just found this:
http://code.google.com/p/fitd-reloaded/source/browse/

but original sources would be better as FITD uses OpenGL

I guess that modifying Mac binaries like it was done with Heroes Of Might of Magic2 would result in the fastest binary, it's quite hard anyway
