Hello all,

So I finally got my A1200 back on the internet after having to setup an old router as an access point using WEP WiFi security (yes I know it's not secure but at least there is *some* password on there now).

Since i've been using the A1200 more it got me wondering what 3D games I could try on my A1200 now.

I downloaded the Freespace demo from Hyperion but it needs Warp3D/RTG so that one's out. I tried Wazp3D but doesn't seem to run on 060.

I was wondering if there are other 3D games I could try on my 060/AGA setup, I know about maybe Quake 2 but anything else fairly modern that I could try?

Looked at ADescent on Aminet too so might give that a try, hopefully it works with Shareware files.

@DBAlex

You could try Genetic Species.

You can download it for free @ Aminet.

Not all 3D games but it was the easiest way to bring up all of NovaCoder's ports on Aminet.

@x303,@Rob

Thanks for the recommendations i'll give them a try. Didn't know that Genetic Species was on Aminet and it looks like it's been on there since 2001!

I'll give some of Novacoder's ports a try Rob, might try ZDoom as it's the port I use on my PC, one of the best IMHO.

I remember downloading it back in the day when I was on dial-up and then spending a while unpacking it all.

Testament digital download for €2.

https://www.amigashop.org/product_info.php?cPath=2_35&products_id=214

Flyin High digital download for €8 and data disks 1 & 2 €2 each. I seem to recall a review mentioning that the data disks fix a problem with the control system in the original release.

https://www.amigashop.org/product_info.php?cPath=2_35&products_id=135
https://www.amigashop.org/product_info.php?cPath=2_35&products_id=136
https://www.amigashop.org/product_info.php?cPath=2_35&products_id=137

Demo version and various extras can be downloaded here.

http://flyinhigh.apc-tcp.de/download-de.php

Desert Racing of BarDos €30 plus shipping.

https://www.amigashop.org/product_info.php?cPath=2_35&products_id=132

Demo version and patches.

http://desertracing.apc-tcp.de/download-de.php

I actually went to the Amiga Future shop to look for Nemac IV but they don't seem to sell it despite APC&TCP being the publisher in the past. Maybe worth sending them an email to see if there's any possibility to make it available again.

I really would like to like this game, but it is so bad that it is not a even a game. 99% unplayable, 1% playabilyt comes because it reacts a joystick.

But APC / TCP has some really nice games for very economy price.

Like this https://www.amigashop.org/product_info.php?cPath=2_35&products_id=131

NemacIV might be missing, it was a nice 3D game for Amigas (not a port) in the style of DOOM, no monsters only robots but great looking explosions.

---

All those Wolfenstein, DOOM, Gloom Quake games used a simplified 3D technology that was optimised for surfaces with horizontal and vertical orientations, they where excellent for dungeons or rooms with rectangular surfaces, they didn't needed a 3D accelerator.

Not so obvious is Legends Of Valour. I think it was the first Amiga game to use a texture mapped 3D game engine.

@All

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Will probably start with Genetic Species but definitely worth having a look at others.

Tried just for fun to get an MP4 to play using ffplay the other day but it needs SDL which does have an AGA port but I can't find an AGA SDL.library unfortunately.

@DBAlex

For ffplay to work, you'll need CGX or P96.
If you have that and if you still can't get it to run and get "Could not initialize SDL - No available video device", you need to kick the file sdl_videodriver from envarc:

Most of SDL stuff for real 68k Amigas are not worth of time wich is used to to test them

@x303

Yes it requires CGX or P96 but I thought there might be an AGA fallback.

I would be OK with NovaCoders AGA SDL Library (http://aminet.net/package/dev/lib/SDL_AGA) but it doesn't have an SDL.library. Maybe it can be compiled to spit out an sdl.library file I'll have to have a look.

It would still be really slooww but it's just for fun. I wondered if I could convert the MP4 to AVI and maybe try and play with OS3.9 Action, but i'm not 100% what AVI format Action supports.

@DBAlex

You could try this one. Dunno if it works.
CGXAGA

There is no general SDL.library. Normally sdl is added to the compiled source, which makes the output a lot bigger.
The only thing is that a lot of sourcecodes are set to 15,16,32 bit screenmodes, which is bigger than the 8 bit aga.
That's why you need p96/cgx. Or someone that recompiles / re-code everything for 8 bit.

@x303

Thanks for the suggestion will give that a try. Maybe it can fool my system into believing it has CGX!

No general sdl.library? I used this one from Aminet (http://aminet.net/package/dev/misc/SDL-Amiga) but as I said before only for RTG systems I believe.

It does say "maybe it works with CGXAga , but it's untested." so i'll give it a try.

@DBAlex

Normally, when porting to a68k using gcc, you use the sdl link library, not the sdl.library.

Yeah we took a left turn when we should took a right eh with all of that static linking nonsense.

Shared libs FTW, when possible!
