    The Flare 0.18 port was mentioned in Amiga Future 134.
    I downloaded the archive and extracted it. There was no installer, no program icon, and I did not find any MorphOS release notes either.
    Launching the executable will open a console output window telling that joystick have been found, and a black application window. After a short while this window shows the application is meditating message.

    Anyone got this game to run?
    I ran it on a MacMini with 64mb vram and 512mb ram, are perhaps the requirements higher than that?

    My observations are the same, and I see there is also a comment on the MorphOS Storage download to a similar effect. :-(

    Thanks for the input.
    hwsurface=0 did not work, but setting fullscreen=1 did make it work

    I have used

    fullscreen=1
    hwsurface=0
    doublebuf=0

    in settings.txt and now it works "correctly" (some issues with sound)

    I also have some noise in those audio effects.

    Other than that I did not change those hwsurface and doublebuf settings, they are both set to 1 here.
    Also I did change the resolution to 800x600 and the game seem to run quite well.

    There is a small graphis glitch at the start when selecting your character, the window will not show the character, only a square purple filled area. The same is the case for what I asume is suposed to be a preview when selecting a saved game to load.
