it was only a small snippet of the game. But it showed lots of promis. Can't seem to find any information about it at all.


To bad it never was completed, I like Psygnosis, the code must be gone and buried ages ago :(

Yup more than likely. Half tempted to see if I can track it down somehow. Maybe someone who worked at psygnosis still has it stashed away.
 
More importantly my wife has issued an ultimatum. I want a new 1200 as I discovered recently the one I had stashed away doesn't work any more. I turned it on, smelled burning and discovered that the inside was a little toasty. However in order to do this my wife says I need to sell my 600.
 
OH NOES!!!!
 
Now this is a bit of a dilema. Because a) I don't want to sell it if i can get away with it and b) I have no clue how much my 600 is actually worth.

I am tempted to find out more about the game code also :)

Aww, a dilemma like that is not nice to be faced with :(
I am lucky enough to have a wife that let's me get whatever hardware I want as long as I can find space for it :D

She's not bad but I think because it's a computer she is having issues with it. Essentially all my computer stuff is confined to one area. Which is running out of space lol.

I am half tempted to see how much it's worth because a piped out 1200 sounds enchanting.

I know the feeling, I to have a small room for my stuff the rest is in my basement stored away so I have to pick what I want to use and the A1200 has one of the spots :)

Is the A600 stock? Where I live a stock A600 without yellowing go for 100-140£ :)

Well my Buck Rogers:Planet Zoom+++ game may still come out one day. I am always on the lookout for an A1000 hard drive or an A2000 motherboard and internal FDD drive so there is that.

It's just not possible to code up game engines that rely heavily on the copper for subtle depth cueing but use only 4 colours only via WinUAE and LCD HD monitors with no scanlines and square pixels (CRTs have round pixel definition with red/blue shift)....may look great on a real Amiga but would look pretty iffy on a high end 20" 1080p LCD so it just destroys your creative spirit (hence project is stalled).

I like the creative possibilities that Amiga can still be used to pass the time with, hell I even connected up Digiview to a 16 megapixel digital camera once to get the best possible Dynamic HAM/Hi-Res images out of the old girl :)

And today I converted some mini movies to HAM just to be amazed they weren't telling porkies about 25FPS in 1985 re: A1000 launch.

The bottom line is if you enjoy Amiga then you will find other people to have friendly chats with, I think the only reason there is a problem is the whole NG Amiga rubbish going on in the three camps. If you stick to JUST actual Commodore machines you will make many friends for sure.
