I'm very, very happy playing all of those games, and even DOOM as well, on my A1200 030/28. It runs even smoother on my friend's A1200 030/50.

Actually all these games are still playable on the 020 with extra RAM, so the 030 just makes them run much smoother.

Cool, you finished it, that's further than I've got so far in AB3D. I used to play it on my stock CD32 before I got a SX32 for it, and it was fine on that too. It's just a shame that game never had the option to play full screen for expanded Amigas, but it was designed to run as well as possible on stock 2MB systems.

Wow, I finally got around to trying the A1200 version of AB3D and it does indeed run full screen if I hit Enter! I never knew about this option before, but I only ever played it on my CD32 so I wasn't using a keyboard. Being stuck in a small window was the one thing that always bugged me about AB3D, I don't mind so much that it uses blocky pixels for the full screen mode, it's more atmospheric playing this way. It runs nice and smooth on my 030/28 too.
