Amiga 3D Games - The Videos...

[runequester]

Awesome, love it.  I'm gonna have to pull out my CD32 and throw AB-3D in now.  I haven't played the others you have, but they look sweet.  Another one of my favorites is Genetic Species, loved it!  One game I have been looking for that I used to own was Trapped 2, it was one of my favorites and if anyone has another copy (original please no "copies") I would be very happy to buy it from you.  Happy New Years all!

The next time someone kwetches about Doom being awesome, I'll show them the intro to GS

Well played sir

I dont know if this is just me not understanding, but at least in Doomattack, Im perfectly able to strafe backwards (moving diagonally backwards in effect).

Are you playing on an A1200 or a different Amiga?  I could be wrong, but  I remember that being a problem across the board and talking to others about it to make sure I didn't have a faulty system.
 
Anywho, GREAT GAMES!  totaly under rated by too many people and should be put back into print:quickdraw:
 
AND! doomisawesome...

Nice to see them all in one place, I used to play these on my A1200 030-40Mhz.  Most of them ran pretty well.  Breathless and AB3D were my fav's.  Though GS showed what could be done.

plain 1200. I think the arrow keys are excepted,since it does seem you sometimes have to let go of the strafe button to shoot.

I would love to see these videos running on stock 14mhz A1200s with fast RAM.

Shame UAE doesn't give exact CPU speed control in Mhz like the best ST emulator, could mess about with emulated Blizzard 1220/4 board (the cheapest accelerator @ 28mhz 020 for around £150) to see if people could have got by with such a board instead of £500 040 and £700 060 boards.

hm, not sure about fast ram added. AB3D at least is pretty playable on a stock 1200, as is Fears if you reduce the screen size some.

I imagine a bit of fast ram would probably help nicely

Cytadela was only one fps that is playable with stock a500

I had also this problem when upgrading my A1200 to an Infinity tower from Micronik - they had the glory idea to be able to use the original keyboard via an keyboard adapter. This was an real step backwards in gaming when using the keyboard so I bought the Keyrah adapter from Jens Schönfeld which worked perfectly then but I used then an IBM keyboard

Without additional Fast RAM, only the first few levels of AB3D are comfortably playable. I did complete the game on a chip ram only machine but everything after level 4 ended up being played more than once and relying on memory more than fluid game play.

With additional fast ram, however, the game performs a lot better and with even a modest accelerator card, it's smooth.

Pity the same can't be said about it's sequel, though I think it was rather rushed through. I'm sure if he were given more time, the erstwhile Mr Clitheroe would have been able to optimise his engine a bit.

Yeah, I imagine some of the more complex levels would grind down quite a bit. Even on my old 030/25 with 8 megs of RAM, it ran very good though.
 
Agree on Killing Grounds. I really think it could have been a gem in the amiga library if the thing had actually run on any realistic amigas at the time.

Thought I'd just throw in one of my all time favourites here just to show how good the Frodo C64 emulator can be on an A1200...

Forbidden Forest for the C64 was the first game to feature huge characters and night and day features not to mention of course the brilliant music...

Citadel seems pretty cool, but none of the versions I've been able to find will actually let me install it to hard drive.

[zipper]

There's an english and polish version in BTTR, have you tried them? Must check what I have - should have it installed. Btw, a Windows version is out too, afaik.

No offence, but seriously, learn to use sidestep :lol:

All non-console 3D FPS games (or at least all those that give you freedom of movement), without exception, should be played with keyboard and mouse. Keyboard for actual movement and mouse for turn/aim*.

Use the keyboard to sidestep and the mouse to turn so that you can circle round your enemy, shooting him constantly whilst avoiding his return fire at the same time.

Expect it to become law if I ever get into government.

*although using the mouse to move as well is permissible, as per the DooM canon.
