/vr/ - Retro Games

>>7371490
nothing wrong with the graphics either. have you not seen the demoscene or are you one of those zoomy zoomzoom retards that only saw a youtube video about it and never used it?

>>7371516
demos aren't games, moron.

your dangerously low iq is shitting up the board. what's it like to have never experienced anything outside of youtube videos? incredibly pathetic.

That game had EGA graphics you fucking liar. Quit deliberately posting CGA ports.

Prince of Persia had VGA graphics and SoundBlaster music. You are a pitiful lying liar.

>>7371586
Just sit back and enjoy the meltdown.
He'll be posting for hours like the maniacal sperg he is.
All because he can't handle some entry-level banter about his shitty Amiga.

I'm in EU interested in trading Amiga stuff, specifically I'm looking for a working Commodore monitor. I'm offering 2 Amiga 500 computers with power supplies + 1 mouse + around 100 diskettes and a SENATOR disk drive. I figured it's a long shot but hey, it doesn't hurt to ask. I also have one of those A520 modulators to trade but it looks REALLY old.

commodore monitors are great but there are alternatives

> I also have one of those A520 modulators to trade but it looks REALLY old.
they are old, and also very useless in 2021. the picture quality is woeful out of them.

>>7371616
What an interesting list you've got there Anon, I'm going to read it now. And yes, the A520 unit is bad, even judging by my memory of it, but growing up that was all we had to work with. So now I'm hunting for a proper monitor

>>7371591
I think you're right, that guy has weapons grade autism.

Notice Amigatards never post videos of Amiga games, only stills. Wouldn't want anyone to find out that they all ran at 5 FPS. lololol

>>7371623
Personally I think he's just a cluster B faggot.
Possibly a tranny.

let's see what pc was running it that time period, shall we? oh.. it's worse than anyone could have imagined.

>>7371705
>keeps posting CGA/EGA screenshots of games which all had VGA graphics
Why are you such a lying liar? Answer the question already. What motivates you to lie on the internet?

>>7371630
Now now, slideshows are a valid game genre!

>>7371654
Shall we compare Amiga & PC SF2 ports? I won't even mention the SNES port, because that would just be cruel. lolololol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVXB4zghg5E

>>7371747
Shit port aside, I don't know why they even bothered developing this game which has 6 different attacks for a system that had only 1 fire button(2 if you want to be generous, but only a handful of games utilized that).

>>7371765
It was the biggest game in the world at the time and they knew Amigatards would buy shovelware, no matter how shit it was.

>>7371530
Based and Red Pilled. Amiga was for Europoorz who had to survive off of American semen shipments.

Leaving this here for entertainment and educational purposes.

>>7371910
A pc from 1990 would at best run doom like a slideshow if it could run at all. Here is what the consumer faced when trying to buy a computer in 1994

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eACEHVceYl0&t=1s

33 mhz was typical for 1994 but many computers were a lot slower. It was not worth buying a pc until 486 dx2 66 was released.

>>7371747
Super street fighter 2 on pc is way better than snes.

>>7371490
Mod a control pad such as a cheap clone gensis controller for amiga by wiring up to a button makes the majority of amiga and atari st games much better to play. I went from stuggling in bionic commando to being easily able to jump and shoot. The games control as good as nes and sms games at least.

>>7371910
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afyCn6m2Qbc

>>7371932
Super street fighter 2 on PC isn't even better than SF2 on the SNES.

>>7371938
>66MHz 060
Its a Pentium-tier CPU that came out after Commodore went bankrupt and it still can't do stable 30fps in the first level.

That message about Doom not running even on an 040 still stands.

The Amiga has got to be the most overrated computer to ever exist.

>>7371910
Anyone who starts ever sentance with IMHO has nothing of value to say.

>>7371490
so what are some good amiga games with actual good gameplay? I've heard good things about Battle Isle, is that worth playing?

>>7373606
It's pretty good. It's basically Advance Wars but with slightly more resource management.

>>7373710
>It's basically Advance Wars but with slightly more resource management.
sounds good, thanks I'll try it

Blame the greedy companies forcing developers to rush out games for the "lowest common denominator" (Atari ST) and then porting that inferior version to the Amiga since they have no time left.

Why are there so many zoomers on /vr/ who are obsessed with attacking the Amiga, a system that came out well before their time and which they have never used?

>>7375210

You weren't born when the Amiga was relevant. You've never used one. Why do you act like this?

>>7375487
>Why do you act like this?
I'm compelled to tell the truth.

>>7375510
About a system from over three decades ago that you have no knowledge of or reason to care about?

>>7375519
>that you have no knowledge of
It doesn't take much research to discover how shitty Amiga games are.

>>7375480
I can tell by playing it on my IBM PS/2 Model 50 from 1987. You do realize VGA came out in 1987 right? Monkey Island came out in 1991 and supported it on PC for up to 256 colors and looked far better than the Amiga version. If you want to rub salt in the wound throw a Roland MT-32 into the mix like what's in that video.

>>7375530
1990*

>>7375530
Accidentally wrote 1991 instead of 1990.

>>7375525
They weren't. Why are you so obsessed with this? Is this some lame attempt at passing yourself off as le oldfag?

>>7375530
The original release of MI was from 1990 and it only supported EGA/CGA. The more commonly seen VGA release came out in the LucasArts Classic Games pak.

>>7375530
absolutely cringe and retard pilled. how did you manage to end up this fucking retarded? car accident? birth defect?

>>7375547
>Is this some lame attempt at passing yourself off as le oldfag?
Not sure how you got that impression, like I said I just gotta tell it like it is.

>>7375551
The VGA version was offered via an order form included with the original CGA/EGA release and was released about a month or 2 after the CGA/EGA version. Meaning both were still released in 1990.

>>7375558
I'm not the one trying to claim a 32 color, 4 channel sound version of Monkey Island looks and sounds better than the 256 color MT-32 Enhanced PC version...

Regarding PC vs. Amiga, the latter had better capabilities in the 80s and very early 90s.

Commander Keen, 1990:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doA3d5_zD1Q

Turrican 2, 1991:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFtLGDywZlg

>>7375562
You have no idea what you're talking about and cannot provide any explanation for yourself beyond just repeating this nonsense.

>>7375573
The Amiga has less colors though it will still beat the PC for fluidity of animation as PCs didn't catch up with that until VESA.

>>7375586
But that's irrelevant for Monkey Island...

I don't think I've ever seen the EGA MI on an abandonware site, it's literally always the VGA version.

>>7375578
The fact that the Turrican games are considered the best that the platform has to offer says all you need to know about how shitty the Amiga is for gaming.

>>7375597
I didn't say anything like "the Turrican games are the best the platform has to offer," you zoomer psycho. I simply compared Commander Keen and Turrican 2 to show the differences in capabilities.

>>7375604
The Turrican games are always the go to example of muh Amiga gaming experience. At least nobody mentions Shadow of the Beast these days, that's even more embarrassing.

>>7375612
Commander Keen and Turrican 2 are both platformers, released a year apart. Commander Keen was considered revolutionary because it allowed for smooth scrolling. Hence the comparison, dumb fucking zoomer who knows nothing about the Amiga.

>>7375615
I know all about the Amiga, how else would I know how shitty its games are?

The best Amiga games were the more traditionally computer genres, stuff like Might & Magic, SimCity, Hunt For Red October, etc. It was never that good at console platformers.

>>7371932
>A pc from 1990 would at best run doom like a slideshow if it could run at all
you could run it in low-res mode orl shrink the viewable area on the screen to get it running smoothly

The problem wasn't the hardware, it was the nature of the software industry especially the European industry which almost guaranteed a flood of low quality games.

>>7375626
You have some kind of serious mental illness. I don't know what it is, but you definitely have something.

>>7375679
Good thing low quality games weren't a thing on other platforms.

>>7371542
That's not retro computer fans that mock Amiga games anon.

What are you trying to achieve with this? Yes, games had CGA modes back then, essentially it was low graphics settings for low end machines. You think that console crowd (who are the only ones memeing about lol amiga bad) will be impressed by "Amiga was somewhat better than IBM PC in 1988-1990, basically won the generation"?

>>7374274
God, that looks and sounds atrocious.
Scrappy Doo is ok i guess.

This is with 1987 hardware:

If only the games were even half as good as the techdemos.

The last time I saw someone obsess over the Amiga this much, Sabrina Online updates were delayed for a month.
