Peace ya! @endnode @node hard "Hardware required." Hardware requirements: The required hardware is any Amiga with at least 900KB of free CHIP RAM and 2MB of FAST RAM. AGA is not neccesary but a hard disk is required to install the game. To run BrickFast at full speed (50fps) we recommend using 68030/50 turbo and 4 Mb FAST RAM or better. The game works under UAE, but extremely slowly on a P166. @endnode
