Generally,amiga games do just fine.

THere's a few exceptions I've come across. Syndicate runs faster but on an 030 it works great.
It seems Jaguar and Lotus runs faster too, but I could be mistaken there.

By and large you'll be fine though

The 030 is where 3d games (flat polys - flight sims, etc.) hit the sweet spot.  A10 Tank Killer becomes a joy to zip around in.  Wing Commander's a blast at that speed, too.

Perhaps some Amiga DOOM fans can pipe up about what kind of speed you'll see when you get into 030ville for FPS's...


the original user has a 600 which is limited.

My 030 experience on my 1200 (030/25) is:
AB3D runs great
Gloom and Fears, reduce screensize slightly and runs great.
Breathless runs okay at half size
Doom runs like it did on a 386. Dreadfull :)

Some games are incompatible with 030 -- just in case you're not aware.


A few yeah, though honestly I wouldnt be too fussed. The vast vast majority works just fine.

I don't recall any Amiga game being too fast and I have played using 030 and 040 on my A1200. In some you will notice speed up eg. Syndicate, Theme Park but it will just make the gameplay more comfortable.


yeah, syndicate always felt a little sluggish on a 500. With an 030 it moves at a nice clip.

Beneath a steel sky is easily one of my fave adventure games, and one that is relatively lacking in completely illogical puzzles, making it beatable by normal people :)
