| Ben Hermans Interview on Amiga.org : Comment 20 of 80 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Kay on 20-May-2003 20:01 GMT | In reply to Comment 18 (PMC):
Heh, I've got a PS2 as well, so I kind of feel like I'm fighting Microsoft on two fronts. :-)
Seriously, when it comes to games, what I've been missing mostly is good strategy games. There are few RTG-compliant offerings for the Amiga, and these games don't really work as well on consoles as they do on desktops. But having MOL helps a great deal. I have Alpha Centauri up and running right now, and have also ordered:
Starcraft
Tropico
CaesarIII
Not hottest or newest titles, but it surely helps :-). The other main category where the desktop usually beats consoles is first-person shooters. Thankfully, Hyperion will be providing quite a few good ones on the AmigaOne. For all other genres, I have my PS2.
The way I see it, the AmigaOne+PS2+A1200 combo should give me all the computing I need, without having to get a PC:
Every-day use - AmigaOS4
Retro gaming - A1200
Strategy gaming - AmigaOS4 and MacOS through MOL
FPS games - AmigaOS4
Most other games - PS2
Serious software not available for AOS - LinuxPPC
Come on, you know you want one...;-)
