Performance wise, it can be seen running a 3D game, about a familiar looking penguin rolling down a snowed hill. It looked fairly well, albeit simple.
Time to have some fun (sometimes people say MorphZone is way too boring...).
The game in question, as correctly pointed out by hooligan, is TuxRacer. We can take a look at some screenshots (the link he gave doesn't work for me, so I'll add a couple):

As you can see, during the game you can read the speed inside the indicator at the lower right end of the screen, and fonts do work correctly in the menus.
Now, grab the MorphOS version:

Install and play around a bit. I don't know if it has been fixed in the meantime (I'm not in front of my Pegasos right now), but I seem to remember some time ago I had a version installed that didn't show the speed, and the menus were "empty" (I am pretty sure I saw it also at Pianeta Amiga 2004 on Miky060's Peg2): this might have been due to an error in old tinygl now corrected, but I don't remember if TuxRacer now runs perfectly...
Third step: take a look at the Efika video. Now, if you ever saw the "bugged" TuxRacer, come back and share your conspiration theories and afterthoughts here...
Kind regards,
Andrea
