Duke Nukem 3D for amiga

[utri007]

There is 060 version of clickboom quake.exe, it is much faster with 040/060

It used to be here:

Another neat idea, in theory....

the best way to play duke nukem on the Amiga is using the mac version on fusion or shapeshifter
it run fast
amiga ports generally are slow and bad compiled

Duke nukem was VERY playable with Shapeshifter, I finished the game on my old 040.

Unfortunately Duke3D is too slow to be playable on a 030 with AGA since it needs to run in at least 640x480 and it takes too long to refresh the screen.

Dark Forces was playable in a smaller window on the 030 however, and if you use a low resolution with a full size screen it runs a little smoother.

[utri007]

Duke doesn't need to play 640x480, 320x240 is just fine. OR do you talk about duke and shapeshifter? If so you can still use 320x240 screen size.

[XDelusion]

If I could get Shape Shifter to work with my 1200, I'd be in business.

Natami, where are you?

[Cammy]

I was talking about the Mac version in Shapeshifter, which needs a 640x480 screen to run, like many Mac games. Even if you choose a low resolution with a 640x480 screen (Pal/NTSC Low Res for example) reduce the window size, and centre the screen by holding the left Amiga key and dragging the screen into position it's still unplayable on a 030. However, doing the same thing with Dark Forces makes it playable on the 030. This is with AGA, I don't know how either of them run with a graphics card or through Graffiti.

I know because I have tested all of this on my real Amiga hardware recently.

Why oh why do people try to argue games with Cammy?
 
When will everyone learn that she is the game GURU for the site!?!?!

320x200 ...reduce screen and center it
but anyone can use 640x400 instead 640x480 which is a bit faster
640x400 fits very well on a NTSC AGA full screen
that's the way I played it long time ago
graphic detail to medium....do not dream to set in HIGH

Wow, you guys must really enjoy torturing yourselves.  In this day and age, why would ANYONE want to play Duke Nukem at 320x200 resolution, let alone play it on a classic Amiga?  I'd rather stick a pencil in my eye.  You guys have way too much time on your hands.

1) Because we can

2) Because doing so often leads to a certain understanding of software/hardware mechanics and interactions which may not have been evident before, which in many cases also translates to the technology of today.  And if you're a habitual tinkerer, just might trigger an idea to make current technology better.

3) It's fun.  And fun is subjective.

Ask any car enthusiast why he or she does what he or she does.  Etc. etc. :afro:

@LOADWB: +1

It isn't about how good it is compared to other machines, it's the fact that you get to say, "I can" when others say, "You Can't!"

Ah, I see.  One man's pain is another man's pleasure!  LOL

That's about right.  And thank $_DEITY for it, since if not for this spirit we would be without a great number of technological advancements.
