Amiga Quake on 060
« on: November 29, 2007, 05:29:59 PM »
Anyone here played quake on an Amiga w/ an 060. I've got 128mb of ram on the CSMKIII. How slow is it? I've also got a Cybervision 64/3D.

It should be playable on that setup.  The Clickboom Amiga executable should be faster than the open source ports.

well...I think that clickboom'quake on the amiga was a fraud

on a 040/40 mhz aprox 11-12fps...

on a 060/50 aprox 13-14 fps

on a 060/50 + gfx card 17-18 fps

that's not playlable for anybody

@ pan1k

With the brightness turned right up the demo didn't look too bad to me on your setup. But I've got some sort of joystick problem! When I press the fire button it keeps toggling to and from the menu screen  :crazy:

Dude, seriously, playing a shooter at anything lower than 25 FPS is stupid, you'd get insta-fragged by skilled players on better systems.

I'm not trying to be an ass, and I truly appreciate ClickBoom's effort when porting Quake to 68k, but it's true.

Single-player mode is another matter, but low framerates can still cause headaches. :-)

Here's my opinion. FPSs are all about amazing, smooth graphics and atmosphere which takes your breath away. Without a decent framerate and resolution, you just can't get that atmosphere.

I would much rather use my Amiga for things it is good at - fun, classic games - than trying to shoehorn games in to it which are never going to run well.

IMHO 10 FPS is totally sufficient for a smooth animation and Quake is perfectly playable on a 060. I liked this game very much.

Has anyone tried to play this game on an Apollo 060/66 or 060/75?  I'd be curious to know what the fps would be.

I remember playing this game with AGA (Pal Hi-Res Laced), and at 66MHz it was totally playable, at least for single player. I used the free version on aminet, IIRC it gave better performance than Clickboom's version. Also, using good software patches can really help speed it up.

With a graphics card I'm sure it would play fine.

Thing is, (IMHO) you can't take it too seriously or compare it to modern games. It's just a "cool" factor that it runs reasonably well on older hardware.

I haven't really tried it on my new Apollo card, but I'd be happy to post some benchmarks at 50, 70 and 80MHz.

You can play it at 800x600 in WinUAE and get about 60fps, generally! :-D :-D :-D

@ -D- I would like to try the demo for myself to see if it is indeed at a playable speed on a 060. What do I need to do to play the aminet demo?

@Miked

I had an overclocked MKIII/060 at 66mhz with a PicassoIV and got about 24FPS tops at 640*400. Sure compared to my PC it's ugly, but it was still fun at the time. Anyone tried playing it on a mediator or prometheus with a VooDoo video card? How does that work?

Yes. Quake and Quake II on an Amiga with 060/66 and Prometheus w/Voodoo 3 absolutely screams, well for an Amiga it screams. If you use a search here you can probably find some benchmarks I did. It has been a long time, but the name BlitzQuake comes to mind. Clickboom Quake did not support 3d cards.

I can't speak for Mediator as I never used inferior solutions ;-)
