They would be back if they procuced something new for AmigaOS. It is a nice move but if they could even make a director's cut or remake for an old title (TVS Basketball comes first to mind) I would buy it the next day. OK, make that the same day. @#$@ it, where do I preorder ?

I wonder if the games are still the cracked copies.

Cinemaware wanted originals as much as possible with little or no graffiti.

I do not think that they will produce new versions for AmigaOS with number of users only in the hundreds. So the title is a little too euphoric in my view and is creating wrong expectations.

It does not mean any sort of "cooperation" or that Cinemaware will support AmigaOS as a major target platform now.

That would be where you are wrong. Nothing is off the table at this point.

Considering your position within the community, I think you should reconsider how such statements could negatively reflect on your preferred platform of choice. Picking on the other guys news items to death is certainly not reflecting well I expect.

Ah ok. Then you can surprise us in the future. I only looked at it from a business point of view where game developers answered me that even a userbase of 10.000 users is too small for them.

Your opinion regarding the "inaccuracy" has been noted. However, I don't feel the need to make any correction at this time. Thank you.

Sorry that I expressed my view. I tried to create some interest by indy game developers and got clear answers. For them even all amiga-users left would be too small. I also corresponded in the phase of the kickstart with one from cinemaware and the answers from him were also clear. That situation is the same for all camps right now (including my "favorite choice")

Fair enough. Putting "inaccuracy" in quotes implies the press release actually is accurate, which would obviously mean that it *is* available to *all* registered AmigaOS owners.

Several other posts on this thread suggest otherwise.

Can the whining be taken to a forum thread for discussion, and can this news item be tidied up before some one reads and concludes that we're all a bunch of moaning kids?

You mean you haven't yet updated your X1000 with the various updates issued at the registered users' download site? Do note that you will need to do that, and especially apply update 6 with the AmiUpdate integration and download and install all updates it will offer you, before you are able to use these games. Also make sure you run AmiUpdate again after each update you install, to make sure it offers no new updates. Some of them have dependencies on each other, so won't be offered until the predecessor is installed, and you have rebooted.

To say I've been busy with other things is an understatement. My poor X1000 is gathering dusts along with the rest of my computers because I've been tied up with work and family matters. I still have a PCIe-PCI adapter and a Catweasel card sat ontop of the case that need to be fitted.

Hopefully next week I'll catch up.

Ssolie was kind enough to email me the link to register. I hope I can still find it.

Tempting as it is, most people reply to a thread by clicking on thelink above, so if I start deleting posts then I risk deleting "good" replies.

To all posters:

Please just stick to the title. Cinemaware has provided Hyperion with some nicely bundled files for including with OS4.1. Yes, ADFs were available before, but not all of these files.

I didn't expect this to turn into the Spanish Inquisition...

Does all of the above games open in a standard screenmode or is there a option to pick own screenmode?

Nice opportunity again to enjoy of these games.

@delshay
If you are talking about playing these games on AmigaOS4 (with RunInUAE installed), then it depends on which machine you are using:

* For any machine with a Radeon *HD* card, it will automatically use 640x480 (which is certainly "a standard screenmode").

* For other (typically older) machines, it will use 320x256 (for better performance), but if you monitor cannot handle that, then you can tell it to use 640x480 using RunInUAE's menu "Shared settings > Set default screen size to > 640 x 480".

* You also have the option of playing them in a window, rather than full-screen, using "Shared settings > Set default screen size to > window", although I do not advise this for any mouse-controlled games.
