My question was genuine.

I am not a gamer, don't really follow it in the gaming world, and wondered if a modern day Amiga has good gaming capability.

If I am not mistaken, some popular gaming platforms are PPC based with CPUs that are not super pumped up with all the water cooling, overclocked cpus, etc...

And obviously these major gaming platforms are still in business and making fun games for all.

So I was curious what stands behind the game and it capability.... is it all about power power power only or does the OS have something to do with it, or all about drivers for the GPUs and that is where gaming is now.

So, right now, same question for MorphOS since I am also planning on buying and supporting this platform, mostly for fun and to help support the folks that work hard on it.

Does the MorphOS platform, version 2.7 or the newer 3.0 coming out, running on say Mac Minis, make a favorable and fun platform to support gaming developers?

The secret is in the GPU support.

Seriously, if you're worried about games you picked absolutely the worst system imaginable. Did you get rid of your A4000? That was a far, far better platform for games - but then it was an Amiga, not an AmigaOne like what you have now. Apparently you don't understand the difference.

66 million XBoxes @ USD 100 to 300.
55.5 million PS3s sold @ USD 300 to 400.
95 million Wii sold @ USD 100 to 300.

250 AmigaOne X1000s made. Priced at £1799, USD 3000.

If I'm a developer, which platform/s am I likely to develop for?


The X1000 because you feel "Teh Spirit of Amiga!"




Or maybe that was just some bad fish?
