Hi!
Can you suggest me some "native" game for morphos?
I mean those games that are not ported from linux or those which were first written for an amigoid platform.
Thx!

Fortis from Encore Games.

thank you!

I think Birdie Shoot started off on morphOS?

One of the best is Payback which started off as an original Amiga Classic game that happens to run very well on high end morphOS systems. It was only ported to other platforms many years later.

Boxikon... IIRC it's free for some time now. Unfortunately there aren't that many original MorphOS games. But there are many Amiga original RTG games, which are fun and run nicely on MorphOS, like Boulderdaesh by Geit, Sudoku by Silicon Wizards.

Unfortunately one of my very Amiga favourites has its problems on MorphOS (Foundation).

Only the m68k version that is.

Short of 2 to be precise.

> Boxikon

I'm not so sure this game complies with the thread opener's conditions as it was released for MorphOS in February 2003 but for Windows, PocketPC and AmigaDE between 4 and 16 months earlier (that's assuming AmigaDE is not considered an "amigoid platform" ;-)

M68k executable with Warp3D works very good on high end MorphOS systems. The link you provide is misleading and not helpful to the OP, IMO. Payback on a high end G4 or G5 leaves nothing lacking.

Yes, that's what I wrote.

I gave the link as reference for my claim that only the m68k version "happens to run very well" on MorphOS. So I don't think the link is misleading or not helpful.

> Payback on a high end G4 or G5 leaves nothing lacking.

I neither said nor implied anything to the contrary.

The link you provided for Payback has Andre Siegel saying "I would recommend that you play some other games instead :)"

Just countering that point

@Andreas_Wolf:

Ok, thanks for this clarification, I wasn't aware that Boxikon for the other systems has been released before the MorphOS version.

Fortis also wasn't released for MorphOS first, as the iOS and Android version existed before, am I right?

http://www.encore-games.com/news.html says that the iOS version (Android version doesn't seem to exist) was released one month before the MorphOS version, yes. However, the game author said before either release:

"The Fortis isn't port of any version for other platforms. The Encore Game Engine and the Fortis were created special for MorphOS and later ported to iPhoneOS and Windows."
https://morph.zone/modules/news/article_storyid_1761.html

So in this special case where the development order is different from the release order the thread opener will have to decide for himself whether the game meets his conditions, I guess. Seeing as he wrote "first written" rather than "first released" he may be inclined to regard Fortis as an original MorphOS game.

@Andreas_Wolf:

thanks for your explainations and the complementary links.

@rebraist:

Speaking of the "prehistorical" past of MorphOS, there were some commercial games, which are ported indeed, but had received some kind of QA (because they were given away for money...), namely Knights&Merchants, Robin Hood or Airline Tycoon Deluxe.
These were testballoons, which unfortunately drowned like a led zeppelin....

Well Diamonds is included with the MorphOS iso and i have found it rather addictive.

Do not forget bolcatoid created by jbb in 2006. I do not think that does exist a version on other plateforms. Andreas, can you confirm or invalidate that ?
