I'm confused here. At first I thought their was perhaps a logical transition from Amiga demoscene to good tools. Then the next sentence came about keeping an eye on the PS3. Okay but where is the PS3 demoscene? There is a console out there with a demoscene. There's even a community building around the demoscene. Unfortunately Sony failed to give access to the GPU and with v3 of the OS doesn't even allow Linux. So those early people trying to do things with the Cell are now denied. Did you mean to transition between these 2 sentences or are they just thrown together with no relationship?

IMO Elfmania is the Amiga 500's best looking fighting game, it uses some smart tricks to keep the pace, most other A500 fighting games looked horrible, especially ports (most Neo Geo fighting games look top). Of course ots of experimentation happened on the Amiga due to the demoscene and great selection of development tools. Be sure to keep an eye on their latest and greatest PS3 games. But here some Neo Geo examples: Fatal Fury 2 for multi-layer parallax scrolling: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKINVcyQKNM Blazing Star for Elfmania-like scrolling background: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRSkji8D85g

I don't see them as being *superior* to Amiga's Elf-mania ECS. Any Neo-Geo game matching Super Stardust AGA?
