TFX - AMIGA (68k) AGA - 1260 @ 80Mhz

While not exactly fast, it is playable.

It's a shame this great game was never officially released.


TFX was originally scheduled for release by Ocean in 1994, but was shelved indefinitely in 1995 when it was 95% finished and reviewed by several magazines in April/May of that year. Many of the reviews stated that the game was unplayable on a standard A1200 due to the poor speed of screen updates (about 1fps on a 14Mhz 68020 CPU) and suffered generally because of the low detailed graphics, reduced sound and frequent disk swapping, that owed somewhat to the machine's lack of memory (i.e. 2Mb chip/no fastram). The magazines generally recommended minimum specs of an A1200/4000 with 030 CPU and fastram to adequately play the game. Such high specs (they were for Amiga users back in 1995, at least) coupled with the uncertainty of the Amiga market resulted in Ocean indefinitely withholding the release of the game and eventually cancelling it in 1996.
