The only way to play SimCity 2000 using AGA (non-emulated) is with an 060,
best at 66 MHz and a few system patches. Then it's *very* fast. I'd imagine a
quicker 040 is about minimum to make it playable. A scandoubler helps, but you
still have to deal with AGA's painfully low vertical refresh rates...that always hurt
my eyes after a while.
Well, Mac version was only better because of faster gfx there. Apparently AGA
was often faster in ShapeShifter than in AmigaOS.
I would agree with that statement...Bungie's Marathon series, Civ II, Warcraft II, Settlers II...all
ran with excellent speed. That's also when I realized that the Mac versions of games like Civilization and
Colonization were far superior (visually) to their amiga counterparts. 256 color browsing looked excellent
and was actually usable, as was browsing in HAM. IMO Shapeshifter ranks among the best amiga software
ever.
