Where is the company called SpeccyUSA? We could flood the threads with news about them.

I didn't even think Fears was all that bad :)


I prefered Gloom Deluxe & AB3D, reckon these two were the best of their kind on the miggie... :)

I've never heard of Project Intercalaris, though I have played some Fears and loved it!

AB 3D was another I really enjoyed. Of course there is Breathless, and last but not least Genetic Species!!!!!!!!! AMAZING work of art!

It's a shame MorphOS does not seem to want to support the sound so I can play through Shogo.

Alien Breed 3D is amazing and I finally finished Gloom :)

Big shout outs too, to Breathless and Genetic Species.

Do you mean Doom you cheeky bastard? :)

I actually do occasionally play Doom on my 1200. My friends are amazed it runs better than it did back in the day on their 386's :)

I live and breathe DOOM. And sometime in the future, you'll see just how literal I am when I say this. :)

I first played it on a friends 386 and knew my beloved A500 was past its prime.

AB3D wasnt too bad on the A1200.

On my ACA 030/56 card, Doomattack runs really good. What made a lot of people give up on their miggy's for these sort of games was running them on unexpanded 1200s I think.
Nobody in the PC world expected a 286 to run Doom, but us amiga users were used to our humble little 7mhz machine pulling off miracles :)

I wish this damn smegger I got the '040 from would hurry up and send it. Im really looking forward to getting into some of the amiga fps games I missed, or just glanced over back in the day. Until it arrives Im stuck with a stock a1200, which while still lots of fun doesnt really cut it for some stuff, fps'ers being amongst them. I can already run out of ram for my 2d paint program, and it's only 2 or so weeks old  :)

Ive never played Testament2, and only played the cu amiga cd demo of Testament1 from a few years back. Trapped2 is something else I'd like to get back into one day. I played a demo, again from CU Amiga Magazine some years back, and quite enjoyed it. Very impressive engine too. "Real" 3d, nice realtime lighting effect, and faster than a lot of amiga fps games on the same hardware. I played the demo on a 50mhz blizz mk4 '030 back in the day, and while it required a medium sized game window it was still quite playable.
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

I did start to type a rather long post in reply to you here but it ended up like a bumper sized edition of War & Peace with all three volumes of Lord Of The Rings thrown in, so after reading it I thought to meself "haud yer hoarses ya whahoo ye whit ra feck ur ye typein awe ris jobbies fur ya dunderheed ye, who gives a keech anywie an whit ra hell diz any o it matter at ra end o ra day", so instead I'll just say... ;)
