How's about RoboCOP 3D?

Pretty impressive 3D for the time - just a little sluggish on a vanilla A500.

Has anyone got it to run reliably on a better system (other than WinUAE)?

It worked on my A1200. Think I might have used the Both Mouse Buttons on startup trick.

Not according to the wikipedia entry:

"Ian Pearson and Gavin Blair created the animation, using a Bosch FGS-4000 CGI system."

I liked very much Midwinter 2: The Flames of Freedom. I can see that you said something about Driller or Castle Master. How about Total Eclipse? It's my best. (First played on my Amstrad CPC 6128)

Wow, quite a few games i'd forgotten, especially Driller, and good to see a remake.

I'd like to try making a 3D adventure myself, with the right software> Midwinter had an interesting plot, and would work really well as a modern game unless it already out there!

The Amiga also has some great shoot-em-up space type adventure games such as frontier and starglider 2 although they differ from the freescape ideas of walking around a 3d world and solving puzzles.

On the graphic side of things starglider2 was  amazing in terms of vectors and colours. This was lacking a bit in The other vector games such as robocop 3.
Does anyone remember Starglider being played on

Hmmm nostalgia  :-)

I quite enjoyed Ashes of Empire at the time, however waiting 15mins for a save disk to be created sucked!

Seems most people who posted here have no clue what an adventure game is ... One example is the clickboom ported Nightlong both 3d and adventure ---...
