Nice,I'd much rather someone work on getting games to be full screen and position themselves correctly on the screen. I have a 20inch old crt monitor. Sucks playing a game on only 3/4 of the screen, or playing a game that incorrectly places it self slightly right or left on the screen.


That's actually a hardware limitation of the Amiga chipset.  It fetches its sprites on the left border of the screen.  Sometimes there are a lot of Copper functions executed on the right border.  For Turrican they extended the left AND right borders to allow both extensive copperlists AND all of the sprites thus leaving the screen narrow.  It's all about chipset timing.
