AROS Playground - Games Website Launch

[hardwired]

AROS Playground is the first site dedicated to everything that involves gaming on AROS - AROS Research Operating System.
It's goal is to offer an important database on every recent game available to AROS and some info regarding several aspects of the software and hardware needed.
Add to your favourites links: http://arosgamer.blogspot.pt/

We'll do our best to keep you informed on the latest games/emulators/tools released on AROS, what is required to run them, on the development and developers involved, deliver interviews, reviews chronicles and sites to download what is required.

We'll try to look in depth to one of AROS strongest points - 3D GFX hardware acceleration, but also to portability issues, CPU compatibilities and much more.

Right now we already have 29 major games covered on the database, and we start of with a interview to Mathias Rustlers (Mazze), one of AROS senior developers.

We intend to go further and add more interviews, some which will not be strictly AROS related, but Amiga related as well!...

Welcome to the one place where Gaming on AROS is the "Kitty Playground"!

We hope you enjoy...

Very nicely done. Good site and there are quite a few more games for AROS than I knew about. Thanks!

Yes there's alot more than I thought too. Its really nice to see some clones of old amiga favorites coming to aros, makes it feel alot more like ng amiga with those updated kind of classic amiga games.

I'm moving this week. I will be setting up my aros box again in my new family room, I'll be trying out all these...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: fpse's near pitch-perfect PSX emulation pretty much gives high-end Amigas and Amiga-like systems a huge, huge library of games to play.  Even if you throw out the really bad ones (and like all consoles, there are plenty of really bad PSX games), that'd still leave a couple thousand games to play.  They aren't cutting-edge, no, but there's some great gaming pedigrees in there: Final Fantasy, Quake, Doom, etc.

The emulator works fine, but not all controller buttons are supported.

Also, it would be nice if upscaling would work, like in Sega Dreamcast.


Anyway, The website is great!

Wow, some great games on Aros! Any chance of Doom3 or Cube 2 on OS4 any time soon?

Awesome.

What an odd omission.  I wonder how that was overlooked.

What's the general system requirements ?
