... I'd give up on Quake 2...


Of course, a totally maxed out legacy Amiga could run Hyperion's port of Quake 2.
And that same port would run flawlessly on NG hardware (as would some newer titles).

Get a Vampire II and sure you can play quake 2 on a stock Amiga.


That combo would work, but I'd want an RTG card as well.
And yes, I know the Vampire has video out.

Why do you want an RTG card in addition to the RTG output that the Vampire provides?


Because the drivers offer a better level of compatibility.
I appreciate the Apollo teams efforts to streatch the goals for the Vampire2, but instead of graphics or multimedia instructions, how about just finishing the cpu's fpu?

Feature creep was always a problem with the Natami.
You would think Gunnar would have learned his lesson.
Get it done, figure out how to produce it in the volumes demanded, THEN you can work on improving it or expanding it.

Maybe Von Bohem and company plan on living forever, but I'm personally worried about seeing this completed in my lifetime.
