PPC games?
« on: December 13, 2004, 12:52:19 AM »
About to get a BlizzardPPC (200mhz PPC, 25mhz 040) and a BVision for A1200 in Power Tower! :)

Want to know if there are any good car racing and space shooter games I can get off back2roots or aminet that I should start with that will use full potential of this equipment.

Thanks,

Neofree

Well Descent is one of the ones I'm interested in. Didn't know there was Descent 2.  What about Freespace?  Could care less about Doom or Quake.  I know of XTreme Racing, I think it supports PPC, if not at least 040.  I think Wing Commander II might support accel boards but cant remember.

Ah-hem.  As the thread starter and Mac hater, I'll refrain from bashing Mac's, but can we please keep the thread on topic? :)

ikir:

I hear ya but I will spend most of my time using classic software...  As more software is available for OS4 I'll be tempted to get better hardware, but at least I'll have something to start with.  Hyperion will still get my $ for OS4 and that will help Amiga.

Thanks,

Well maybe this will help you understand:

I am paying $340 for A1200 with BlizzardPPC.
And I'm paying 75EUR (around $100) for a BVision card.


So cost is almost half of A1.  Right now would not be an easy time to go for the A1, I'd have to sell just about every computer item I own :(
