Ambermoon Arcade - 030 speed test demo
Patrick Nevian's "Ambermoon Arcade" is supposed to become a Rastan-clone which plays in the world of Ambermoon (screenshots: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
Meanwhile Nevian has published a speed test demo of the third level. Since the EHB-colour mode is used Ambermoon Arcade requires a 68030-CPU. According to the author the slowdowns at the beginning of the demo have been already fixed in the current version of the game. Besides this the opponents do not vanish in the game but lie on the ground.
