Amiga Future


Amiga Future: New Q2 Screenshots
There are some new Screenshots of our Quake 2 port (which is in the final stages of developement) available at the interactive section of Amiga Future (see title link).

This time these screenshots are coming from the "engine modification" Q2Max. With our port we are optionally adding support for Q2Max. There will be two executables in our port, one for the "normal" Quake 2, and one for Q2Max. Q2Max enhanced (among other things) the particle effects of Quake 2 in a *major* way (the new effects really remind a bit of Quake 3 IMHO!) There is no big speed loss. Please note, that Q2Max has quite huge memory requirements - but well, it is only optionally. You can as well run the "normal" Quake 2 executable. Both executables are included in the port and can be installed parallely. Both Quake 2 and Q2Max can be played together in Multiplayer without any problems. Steffen Haeuser. (ps)

Games: 4 new games from Amigaland
Mirko Engelhardt writes:
From today on there're 4 new games ready for download. They're called 'Amiganoid', 'Zzzep', 'Movem' and 'On the Ball - World Cup Edition'.

In addition, there's a code table for Oldtimer (AGA) available. Once again thanks to Unicorn. There are also two demos from Abyss available (Wildlife, Extralife).

Amigaland provides original games, authorised by the manufacturer, to be downloaded. They also provide demos, emu-tools, emulators and a lot of facts worth knowing about Amiga. (sd) (Translation: sr)

Telepolis


Story: Fighting Nintendo by means of a fly swat
In the middle of the 80s Nintendo had with NES a market share of 90% in the US and in Japan. In the above Telepolis article Konrad Lischka describes Sega's idea to opt out of Nintendo and create his own market. By means of Sega Console a new market for adults was established since also older people without any PC experience could now find easy access to video games.

When Sega's home console 'Master System' only gained a market share of 10% and the computer manufacturer NEC 1989 didn't have any success with his home console 'TurboGrafx-16', Rosen said: "A Nintendo culture does exists and to compete with it is extremely difficult.

The difference between the marketing concepts of both companies becomes particularly apparent for the Mega Drive if we look at the fighting game 'Mortal Kombat'.

The version of 'Mortal Kombat' which was released in 1993 for Sega's Mega Drive did away with any moral considerations: The Sega version allows you to rip off the enemies' heads and to rip out their hearts. The makers cheered: "On average Genesis¹ has, compared to Nintendo, customers of a higher age so that this will be the market with the highest growth for the second half of the 90s", according to Electronic Arts Manager Bing Gordon in 1993.

The complete article is available via the title link.

Genesis¹: Mega Drive's brand name in the US. (sd) (Translation: sr)

At the moment the interview is available online in English.
