Jumpship: Two possible reasons:

1. Somehow the data files are installed corrupted
   on your harddrive
2. You tried to start the data files of the full
   (PC) version with the Demo version which of
   course does not work
3. Something was done wrong during installation

The full version has a nice installer to take
care of installation.

As to WarPiper:

Do I understand right ? You did not even try the Amiga version and claim in public the Amiga version  would be "crap"? I am really annoyed by such clueless comments.

Ah, yes, I should have read the mail again.
That's *three* possible reasons of course (I added after some more thought a third reason but did not fix the first sentence :) )

WarPiper: Freespace on Amiga 68k requires at least
a Permedia 2 (or Voodoo) Graphics Board. A Virge
is just too slow. Especially as the game is in 640x480,
and a Virge is only halfways fast in Lowres. Play somewhere else, troll...

KingTutt: On your message I checked the source
of the Glide-Renderer again, and I could not detect
ANY usage of Multitexturing there. Maybe in Freespace 2 ?

But yes, the game looks exactly the same on PC and Amiga (at least in 3D Hardware Rendering).

The cutscenes are included. As to the quality: Well, in
the intro-animation we had to degrade quality a bit, so it
would not be too slow on slower Amigas, but all the other
Animations (the in-game ones) have same quality like
the original Animations.
