I saw this over at amiga.org and though I would post it here. It looks like the game Pirates is being released with new up to date graphics. It looks great. I would recomend yo all click the last link and send a request for a release on MorphOS to the publisher! His email is at the top right of the page.

Nice.
But I played it through already on the Amiga 500.

Now wait a minute: wasn't there already a "Pirates Gold" edition with spruced up graphics? (256 colours instead of 16)?

Well, if you actually have a look at Atari's website you'll see that it's more than just the same game with slightly enhanced details. If only Genesi would still have tons of money and also their good relationship with Atari they claimed to have in the past...

YEAHHHH

Thats in my top 10 ALL TIME Favorite games. Now i'll have to get a PC to play.

FYI There are not enough Pegasos computers to have a game house publish for the platform



(maybe someday)

No, but what about pegasos game consoles :)

Or time to do an x86 JIT.
If only the x86 asm wasn't that ugly, urgh.

Checked the site, watched the preview video...shame I already sold my soul

Hi Magnetic,

This is also very high on my top-ONE list

I have to say that Black Kat - Pirate of the Carribean also gives a distinct similar feeling of Pirates!.

Yes, would be REALLY funny if that new ANN rumour (Tulip/Commodore to sell the A1 as C= Amiga) would be true and then the Pegasos would be sold as Atari.

Good old times of Amiga vs. Atari would return, although this time I'd have to participate on the other side.

Scary! That would mean ST and Falcon users would become....family? *shudder*

Not as scary as it seems, just continuing the history of both companies - as you know, Commodore's founder Jack Tramiel bought Atari 1984 to compete with his former company, and several C= people, including the developer of the C64, followed him.

Unfortunately the philosophy of Irving Gould, who was the reason for Tramiel's leaving, led to Commodore's bankruptcy.

Anyway, back then, both - Gould's Commodore and Tramiel's Atari - wanted to get the Amiga. Therefore it would be a nice continuation or better a nice restart of history if now both, Commodore and Atari, would get the chance to again compete with each other by using the Amiga successors AmigaOne/AmigaOS4 and Pegasos/MorphOS.

I've to admit I'd really like such a partial comeback of the good, old 80s with amiga-like home computers and Commodore vs. Atari.

Yeah, I know the historry; I'm just brainwashed by 10 years of Amiga Magazines

So it means that Amiga-compatibles won the old war ?

Hard to say, but I think there are a lot more of the Amiga types then the Atari ST types still using the systems. They have yet to build a PPC system with a modern OS.
