Why accelerate an Amiga?

[Angus]

I'd say that the most compatible Amiga is an A1200 with a Blizzard 1230 with some extra ram, and WHDLoad installed.

There's an awful lot of games you won't be able to play on a vanilla 500/1200 or whatever.

A cool thing about having an accelerator is that the WHDLoad patchers often tweak the games so they will take advantage of more powerful machines, giving the games a new lease of life. Or in the case of games like Red Baron which in my view was just too slow to be playable in the first place, they have actually brought it to life.

You know about the existing patch for the CD32 version? And as you probably know the CD32 version is the version to have.

Check out the just released patch of Cybercon III, it flies now that Bert has managed to get it all working in fast memory. and it also had the problems fixed. The combat feels much more like a 3D FPS than when I used to play the game. More fun than ever before.
