It's great looking game with massive graphics (those explosions and buildings etc were jaw dropping back then) and to get most of it you better have fast Amiga with graphics card (in Zorro3 or PCI, Zorro2 is too slow). Nice sound effects too.

In one player game it's bit difficult, but still worth trying to complete. Better learn the keyboard shortcuts from the manual etc :) But where it really stands out is the two player mode with serial linkup. It's one of the best multiplayer games I've ever played... and that can be counted in all those wasted days we played it with my friend ;)

Anyway, I'd say it's one of the best games on the Amiga ever. It's an exception in modern era of Amiga gaming as being Amiga original game and being good and well produced in it :)

It played fine back in 1998 on my A2000/060 with PicassoIV... Zorro2 was not too slow in my case.


In what resolution did you play it? In my opinion the game deserves the 640x512 resolution and it's total waste of its potential playing it in low resolution :) Gfx is let down too much in lowres... not to talk about viewing area.

On my A1200 with 060/66MHz and CV64/3D in Zorro2 it wasn't playable on 640x resolutions and I found 480x360 to be the best compromize between the speed and visibility/looks. On A4000/060 with PIV (Zorro3 of course) it was fast on 640x resolution. And now it really flies on my A1200 with 060/60MHz and Voodoo3 in Mediator.

I don't recall but I'm sure I didn't go below 640w.  I probably did 800x or 1024x to show off to my friends.  :)


Wasn't 640x512 (I made x512 mode for RTG too) maximum you could get with it, IIRC?
