Hi there I'm currently asking myself wether I should continue to
subscribe the AmigaFuture (german magazin), and now I have
to decide what I should order as price-reduced extra with the subscripton.

Options are:
Pinball Brain Damage
Kargon
SeaSide
Simon-The Sourcerer 2
Flyin High
Earth 2140
Dynamite Special E. CD

I haven't played any new Amiga-game between 1994 and 2002, so
I'm a bit at a loss here .....

Which games are what ? And how good/bad are they ?
Do they work on the Pegasos ? Anybody who can give me a 1st-hand
report on that 68k-AHI-version of Earth2140 that was talked about some
days ago ?

Earth 2140 is great it is like comand and canquer but better

@ Kronos,

You can get some information of the games on http://hol.abime.net/ (but only technical ones and screenshots).

Simon - The Sorcerer II:
is an adventure in the style of Monkey Island meaning you guide your hero (Simon) through several quests. A lot of humor included.
Works on Pegasos here but crashes when leaving.

Dynamite Special E. CD:
I only have the standard DynAMIte here which is an improved version of bomberman (including network play).
Works on Pegasos here.

@ HAK

But you can ScummVM for run Simon the sorcerer II ;)

And you should know that there are native MorphOS version of ScummVM ;)

afaik, there is NO ahi version of Earth 2140 I know of...

And it seems that coders (!=publishers) aren't too willing to help getting it work on MOS. Of course, it's MorphOS, that should be blamed for it doesn't work...

Who port Earth 2140? hyperion or epic interactive?

Ported by Pagan, published by Epic

Hi Kronos,

There is an unofficial AHI Patch for Earth 2140 available directly from me. It runs fine with a few smaller problems (no sound in the movies, flickering in the menu). It is only the 68k version that Pagan did; I think they had the UAE users in mind mainly and it is fortunate that it now runs on the Pegasos as well. Regarding speed: Honestly, when you have played the game mainly on a G4/500 Mac for some time, going back to the Amiga version does not seem fair anmore Since my last A1200 broke down a couple of months ago I can not compare it to normal Amiga speed, but someone told me it was slightly faster on the Pegasos now than the PPC version was on his old amiga.

Best Regards

@ timofonic,

>But you can ScummVM for run Simon the sorcerer II ;)

Thanks for the tip, have to try it.
To be honest, I never thought of the possiblity to try ScummVM as Simon does work on MOS (except for the crash when leaving).

@LT56

I'm considering it, but other options also look sweet .....

The 680x0 version of Earth 2140 is much faster on Pegasos G3 than the WOS version on Amiga 1200 PPC 266 MHz.

I'd be very interested in that, if you could mail it to me, my e-mail address should be publicly visible.

Or better still, why don't put it somewhere online for people to download?

Hi jack,

Are you Mahendra Tallur? This is the only mail I received where I could not send the Update to, because the mail kept bouncing back (3 times so far).

Thomas Steiding/e.p.i.c. interactive

No, I am Jan Vonka (jack-3d@volny.cz). I thought I can only write you here. OK, I am sending you a mail.

PBD, Kargon, SeaSide we dont know.

We dont have a place to test the games on Pegasos.

Flyin High dont run on Pegasos.

More infos from the games found you unter http://www.apc-tcp.de

with scummvm you'll get midi music, the amiga version dont play any
music

I whould choose the dynamite special edition. :)

@Tokai
Too late, I allready did that

Stay far away from Seaside and Flyin' High.

@kronos:

cool, then we can have some matches sometimes. whoohoo!

@tokai

Matches ?

I only have a Zippo

@kronos:
