But, to my surprise, even with an '060 they are slower than I had hoped. Certainly playable in low-res, though.

Also usable with 68030/25MHz/Cybervision64/16MB. ANY Amiga-3D-Shooter is better (Nemac4, Gloom Deluxe, TKG). Demo available: Not known. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- @endnode @node "sensory" "Sensory Overload" Sensory Overload: Ugh! This is DOOM done super-cheap! Only 3 floppy disks for the whole game. Not very pretty to look at - the graphics are very plain and all the same. Still, it's playable in tiny resolution on a stock '040, and playable at full-screen on an accelerated 4000. Not much fun though... Tested on: A4000 with Macro-System's WARP ENGINE '040 running at 40 Mhz Cybervision-64 (4-meg) Toshiba 6.7 speed SCSI-II CD-ROM Amiga OS 3.1 @endnode @node "wolf" "Wolfenstein 3D" Wolfenstein On an A1200 030/50 8MB with AGA boost-driver at 320X200 it's good playable. With 040 you can play at a resolution of 512X384. ---------- Works slow in Full screen on: Amiga 1200/Blizzard1260/24MB RAM/SCSI HD/HD Floppy/Turbo EVD gfx-driver @endnode
