know what I find amazing.....?

[WarPiper]

here is what I find amazing, there is a tremendous amount of people in here that claim to dislike the beautiful 3d renderd games that are written for the pc, and bost the AMAZING plethora of CRAPPY amiga games and also claim to love them for their retro look feel and simpleness, and claim that they have no interest in those 3d renderd games that are  on the pc untill.......SOMEONE PORTS IT to the amiga, then its a whole different story.

I am not talking about the whole Amiga.org commuity, the people with this type of mentality know who they are.

[Karlos]

If a game is good thats great. If it looks awesome too, thats a bonus :-D

[Ni72ous]

I love my pc games.

Mohaa
Max Payne
Myth Of Soma
To name a few

I have yet to see a better system for gaming.

[iamaboringperson]

there is nothing wrong with liking old games! i love old games!

they have no interest in those 3d renderd games that are on the pc untill.......SOMEONE PORTS IT to the amiga, then its a whole different story.

thats what i find amazing too!

you know, today i was going through a computer game shop, and i was considering buying Heretic II, and Alice

and i dont even know what they are like, they just look interesting :-)
i would like to know how good are these games before i buy them. BTW they were cheap too

no way would i wait to get those on amiga or morphos - they would likely be too expensive and slow in the first place

I must say that i remember a company saying it would be imposible to port doom to the miggy, so in a way its good to see them proved wrong, although i would still use my pc for games.

Yeah, I know the attitude.

Before Amiga port:

"Quake 2? That's just another dumb PC ego-shooter."

After Amiga port:

"Quake 2 is the best Amiga game ever!"

I'll openly admit it.  I love the 3d rendered games.  In fact, they're the only reason I dual-boot my PC.  And, honestly, they're the real reason I defected to x86, in the first place.

My current favorites (in no particular order)
Papyrus NASCAR 2003
IL2-Sturmovik / Lost Missions
Unreal Tournament 2003 (if only I didn't have to run a crack on my legally purchased CD just to play it...)

As for the slightly older, budget shelf, iama-  I really liked Alice.  It's very trippy, if you have a machine with enough horsepower to crank the detail.  (1+ghz / fast OpenGL card)  I wanna play that game again, too.  I loaned my copy to a friend and haven't seen it since.  :-(

Of course, I also love the old games, too...  But the power of modern machines opens up so many more possibilities for simulators.  (My favorite genre, although I occasionally enjoy shooting stuff - I can't wait for Half Life 2.)

AROS? :lol:

Nice one :-)

@ WarPiper

That's an interesting observation (and I agree)!

(Personally, I love PC games. And I am currently awaiting a nVidia GeForce 5900 to be able to enjoy them even more! :-D)

[ikir]

My dream: play Half-Life 2 on my AmigaOne.... and also the older Half-Life with its mod!!!

Ilwrath: Why do you have to run a crack to play UT2003?

[Ni72ous]

@Aegis

Why do you have to run a crack to play UT2003?

So his original discs and his drive dont wear out.

[Herewegoagain]

So his original discs and his drive dont wear out.

With the latest official patch applied to UT2k3, you don't need the CD in the drive anymore.

I personally do miss the "retro feeling" in games of today, but that doesn't mean that I don't like any of the new (3D) games that appear. However, I have found an alternative platform that seem to offer quite a lot to people like me... GBA :-)

Btw, I still think that Quake I&II is quite mindless blasting action, and even though similar games can be quite fun, these games sucks (Even though they're available on the Amiga  ;-) ).
