And what about the Amiga nemesis SEGA?

I wish AmiMasterGear would run on my setup. If only there was a patch for it to run on my setup up. Then i'd be happy, at the moment, it runs far too fast! :-(

AmiGenerator is okay, i used the PPC version, and runs okay with no sound on. Never could get the 040 version going though. :-/

AmiMasterGear is released as GPL. The latest update wasn't made by the author (who doesn't work on it anymore), so there is possibility that it can be updated for the modern Amigas as well.

Sadly no! I have already tried it. Thanks anyway though.

I'm guessing it's ASM?

Genesis was a good machine at it's time, but once you got it, you couldn't do more than playing arcade-like games... the amiga could word-process, calculate, run DPaint, program, run adventure games and was upgradeable. In theory, if you have an A500 with an internal 030 accel. 4 megs Fast Ram, 3.1 roms (are there any for the A500?) and a GVP hard-drive, you can run OS 3.9 right?

as I said, I wanted to see both compared to sheer gaming speed/gfx

And btw. the Sega could run adventures too, as wel Dune 2 was available for the Sega.

To be this good, will take Sega ages

LOL yeah i remember seeing this many many years ago, what a fantastic advertising idea and turnabout slogan on Commodore's part, hmm never thought i'd hear myself say that :-)

Well this turned out to be almost an emulator thread dinnit ;-)

As such, I would like to see Sega developing on future Amigas.

They are now focussed as a software company now so. In the olden days we used to see games like 'Out Run' being ported not only to the Sega Master System, Game Gear, Megadrive, Saturn & Dreamcast (In Shenmue 2) but also on the Speccy, Amstrad, C64, Amiga & I think, IBM PC compatables (I think).

As they are closer to how they WAS to how they changed, it'd be nice to see cross format porting of their games.

Personally I'd SO love to see the Shenmue series being brought together & even concluded on Amiga, it truly IS an awesome gaming experience (Pretty darn fine in the playability side too).

Okay, so not strictly an emulation post either.

So I'll end by saying, there are Master System, Game Gear, Megadrive, Saturn & Dreamcast emulators out there. I reckon it'd be something else to have them all ported to the Amiga (Obvoiusly >=A1) & let us all hold some wonderful gaming history...

But not ever forgetting the good old days with our competition :-D Somebody must have that "CD32 Ages" pic. I think I saw it in a mag recently.

These ports weren't done by Sega themselves, but being licensed to third party software developers. And some ports were total crap - Out Run done by US Gold is almost totally unplayable. Altered Beast by Activision was better, but still not that good. I mostly like the Super Hang-On Amiga version, which was done by Electric Dreams and they didn't ruined it. Out Run Europe is good too and there are many more Amiga ports of Sega games, some of them are good some not.

But currently the situation isn't the same as it used to be back in the late 80ties/early 90ties. I see only Hyperion are licensing games from other platforms and they are only PC games.

There is always fun seeing your favourite game on different platforms, having own spirit/features with every other version, and a basis for comparing your preferable machine to the others.

Oh yeah... It was so long ago I completely forgot that.

Oh well, WHEN ;-) we get Sega to port the games themselves, at least we'll know the quality will be there too. If not Hyperion have more than the capability don't they.
