AmigaOS 4: Mini review of Heretic 2 The adaptation of the third-person shooter "Heretic 2", originally released in 1998 for the PC and two years later also for the Amiga, to AmigaOS 4, which was released this year, was subjected to a short review by Pavel 'pavlor' Dohnal at the title link. His positive assessment is that the game runs fast and relatively stable (tested on a Pegasos 2), supports various graphics standards (software rendering, MiniGL, GL4ES) and can also be played with music without a physical CD in the drive. Apart from the costs, the disadvantage is that some configuration work is required initially (adapting the keyboard layout, setting up MiniGL and the CD unit to be used). Graphic errors were also noticed at certain screen resolutions, but after contacting the author he expects these to be rectified quickly. (snx) [News message: 24.

Demo scene: How the Backslide demo was created At this year's Revision demo party, Backslide to Arcanum by Cosmic Orbs took 3rd place among the Amiga demos. Interest attracted that a large bitmap image rotated effortlessly at 50 Hz in full overscan and 1×1 resolution, moving across the screen and changing size arbitrarily. At the title link, 'Jobbo' from Cosmic Orbs explains how he went about it. (snx) [News message: 24. Apr. 2024, 08:28] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |
