| Ocean Software were scheduled to release Electronic Arts' NHL '95, on classic Amiga, the same time they did PGA Euro Tour Golf.
Does anyone know how far this got before it was canned, or whether there is a demo version or anything like that out there?
Could have been a definitive version - more colours than Megadrive, faster than SNES.
(PC/PSX versions are graphically OTT IMO). |

I hope they stay as far away as possible. But I am sure once they smell money they will be all over it. Even Mehdi would do better then these guys.

| You know.....I find it interesting that.....
Hyperion Entertainment, a company with a games rep, is developing an OS.
And Amiga, a company with a technology rep, is developing games. ?-)
What the hell are they doing developing games? 
Did I miss something somewhere.....anywhere?
I mean.....what sort of lame stuff is going to come out of them?
What have they got to show for themselves?
I mean, what sets them apart from all the other games companies apart from being the newbies in the market?
AmigaInc have well and truly fallen off the edge of the earth as far as I'm concerned.
I mean what the hell makes you wake up one day, buy AmigaInc, and then decide that, "no, I'm not actually going to something with the legacy" but develop some lame games for the National Hockey League. I mean it was one thing to develop/market AA(and do a terrible job at that), at least that was arguably a useful and cool technology....but then to market all this lame crap to make a quick buck.....
Can your priorities be so skewed. 
Practically anyone else who bought this company would have done more with it that this $hit!!! 
EWWWW!!! It get's me so frustrated. It's like water torture watching these barztuds allow the great Amiga name and legacy to ROT!!! 
Thank God, OS4 escaped before the KMOS takeover.....
I would say how the mighty have fallen if not for the fact that they were dead and burried long ago. So much for Amiga Resurrection from these Zombies.
Ok. Going back to my happy place now. 
We have no hotdogs!!! And the hotdog company is now selling manure!!! Last edited by BigBentheAussie on 05-Oct-2005 at 03:38 PM.

I agree with you. If they atleast had OS4 more visible on their website. But it seems
low like low priority for them. I wouldn't recommend a single sole to go to Amiga.com
and learn about new Amigas and OS versions if somebody asked. I would point them to here instead.

| > Hockey
Hockey is popular in Canada, Pakistan, India, Australia, Netherland etc.
The popularity of NHL in US had fallen behind NBA, NFL, NCAA, NASCAR, Golf etc.
In US NHL is having "lockout" problem in 2004 - 2005, because of salary / payment /financial problem.
According to a poll, the majority US sports fan comment about NHL: is "Who Cares?"

I'm in the US and I care!
Hockey is one of the few sports I like to watch.
In my opinion:
Basket ball; He shoots he scores it is now 99 to 98 so who cares?
American Football; Is OK, but too few games. Can't compare to the 80 or so hockey games. In addition, why do they call it football anyway, they don't really use their feet like soccer does.
Euorpean Football(Soccer); I like to watch these too, but again too few games! That is why they have riots, each game is too important.
BaseBall; Again it is OK, but it still isn't as cool as Hockey.
The things I like about Hockey are that is is fast, high skilled and you have to really work to get a goal. Oh wait, the Red Wings play tonight! I'll be watching that for sure! Don't believe in polls much myself. The polls could have been done in downtown Detroit where all they know is Football or Bouncy ball. |

Hate to burst your bubble, but I think Palm OS is going to be a thing of the past.
Palm's Treo to use MS OS |
Probably but so will be Pocket Windows for Smartphones.
Appararently the developers at Palm do also have a Treo with Symbian OS! Rumors say it will be shown behind doors at the Symbian Smartphone Congress this month!
FYI 98% of all Smartphones do use Symbian OS!

| I'd hate to interrupt this wonderful love/hate conversation for a bit of news but.. 
NHL.com has now posted the press release on their site.
..you may now resume your regular regime of pounding and beating on Amiga, NHL, PalmOS and any other topic you find interesting.  Last edited by HMetal on 07-Oct-2005 at 09:43 PM.
