"Sorry but that's not very scientific. It's simply speculation, and the name or the press don't make everything
(cf XBox, Microsoft is "well" known and the XBox was highly covered by the press, but it still don't sell
very well ). "
If we could sell that many Amigas we'd be laughing.

Hi,
for me the PEGASOS is only interesting as a Linux machine !
It *is* a nice machine and it needs either acceptance (then go with Linux)
or stays in a niche, where everyone does what (s)he wants to do with it.
I will run a multimedia server for my home (with built-in STB,VCR,DVD,CDDA,
VideoLAN etc.) in a nifty little box, still 3xPCI all I/O onboard, still
of the size of the mixroATX formfactor.
This is my plans for the Pegasos.

I Am AMIGA.
Im am not going that T-Shirt BTW :-)
RageHard, now that's going to attract people to the Pegasos.
Geesz, anyone played a decent PC game or PSX2 lately?
Then compare the GFX and think...
While the GFX are better then Gloom or Alien Breed 3D II (with a little help from a Radeon), it looks kinda old and dated when compared to a PC game. Now this game is set for a releasedate somewhere in 2003.......
Now go and play your original game.......i'll be playing Soldiers of Fortune instead.

Well, the person you replied to did speak of this promotion giving a minimum, but not the worst case one. We can expect practically everyone (in this case) using their coupon, but in a worst case scenario - hey, that's why it's called worst case - not a single person uses theirs for whatever reason (actually that could be pretty good business for the party selling coupons if one looks at it in short term only). Statistically the probability, probably, lies somewhere in between...
Personally I do believe they will sell more AmigaOnes than coupons, though.

No, the title says "Lupe", I'm sure. Search Aminet. :)
Besides, the screenshot looks almost identical to what happens when I
start Lupe on my machine, except I have a nicer texture imho. ;)
The proportions are somewhat better though, unlike what someone else
claimed in this thread.
Anyway, I don't see how people can read so much into a screenshot.
Personally I think GUI:s are important, but looks tell very little
compared to the feeling you get when you actually try to use it.

olde in dated I know not. pc games are always going to give that flat nonrealstic look due to the
design of the system . That is old and outdated . plots lines or the game itself
has nothing to do with being dated.Its the look and feel of the games that does this.
Even the most recent dukenukem sucks and is an example of dated design.This,(pegasos game)
looks much better then that and it doesnt need bloated code to run it either.

Certain MOS people are raving about "their" RageHard will attract all those users, and "we" only have those old PC port.....
But the fact is that PC users will laugh about RageHard in its current state.
Those "OLD" games will probably provide some recognition like "Is it able to run those kind of games I play on my PC?" In stead of "RageHard? Never heard of so it sucks..."
>Not that I know, but I wouldn't be surprized to see this game on AmigaOS4 or >similar (when there is some developer-info available for AmigaOS4 perhaps)
Ofcourse, MAC standards are much higher then this, so they need to support as much platforms as they can in order to make some money.....
While Titan "officially" supports MorphOS now, it's the money that counts in the end...............

I think Titan support Morphos because it's the only solution that it would make sense to support right now. But as I said, as soon as some developer-info for AmigaOS4 is ready, I believe there might be a chance there too. But I guess Titan has got the answer to that, and not I :)

Maybe you 'forgot' the fact that there will not only be original games but also
PC ports for MorphOS (already announced i.e. Alien Nations, Majesty,
Earth2150,...).
So there is something for everyone (some prefer playing original games like
Payback, others prefer playing GTA).

Ahem? Without new users, the amiga is dead anyway.....
We need to give them a reason to look at the Amiga...And being able to play the games they played on their PC is a guarantee that the hardware is fast enough.
Unless there's some really great original game (And no, RageHard will not fullfill that honor), we have to do it with porting "older" games to raise funds and then eventually be able to port a recent game....

You are a Rage Hard betatester? I think you are dissing
Rage Hard for the sole reason it won't appear for your

You are not aware of the fact Hyperion were losing money
on each Amiga game they ported?

>are they MorphOS exclusive
e.p.i.c. announced to stop AmigaOS support a while ago. On their webpage/their press release they only announced the MorphOS version.
IIRC Titan wanted to do OS4 versions and asked several times for documentation
and developer support. Neither when the project was in the hands of Amiga Inc.
nor now after Hyperion took over the project they got any information. I don't
know if that has changed now (though I doubt it after Hyperion and Titan didn't
sign the Majesty contract).

Um, except it's not. It's a Mac port. I'm afraid we may never see any
original Amiga games again, beyond the freeware level anyway. They simply
cost too much money to make these days, and the Amiga market is too small,
and the MorphOS market even smaller. Mac games can still make some money,
but even those are mostly ports too, with some exceptions (like this one).

While it may be true the development takes place on Macs, I'm quite sure it is
not a port since Mr Garlich said bplan approached them to make a "killerapp"
for their Pegasos computer system and a public beta with two levels should have
been shipped with the bplan board in March 2002 according to the original plans.

"A4000 and A600 were shitty products with no obvious advancements. "
The A600 was the first Amiga with surface mounting technology.
Although this didn't affect the user much, it was an important step
forward in production, without which the A1200 wouldn't have been
possible.
The A4000 was the first Amiga with AGA. Having 256 colours in high res
instead of 16, and 256 in Productivity instead of 4, was a big
improvement. And Ham8 was pretty impressive for its time, too.

MorphOS runs *ALL* existing Amiga apps, be they 68k, WarpUp or PowerUp, as well as MorphOS-specific apps.
"Can Amiga run MorphOS apps?"
No. AmigaOS does not run any MorphOS apps at all.
(Applies to all existing actual versions on AmigaOS, as opposed to any future stuff that may come out, of course. Nobody can make any comment about compatability with something that doesn't exist outside of the developers!)

Hello Darrin,

I think he included also the softwares that will need UAE PPC for MorphOS. But even with it, maybe a few softwares will still not work...
Anyway really a lot of softwares are running even most of the old OCS/ECS/AGA games/softwares using UAE. So don't worry :)

Nobody is going to make an Amiga/MorphOS only game these days, unless
AmigaOne/Pegasos sell lots of units. Or unless they've got some other
source of income and money to burn.
That's business. I've bought an AmigaOne, and I might buy a Pegasos,
and I'll buy software for them if it's what I'm interested in (I bought
all of Hyperion's games so far). But I'm just one person, and there
needs to be a lot more.

I'll post this and wait for Luca to come back with some comical post about *his vast business experience* and his *professionalism*, and oh his indepth, insider views about Amiga *since he visited there once*.

Er, that it's not a "MorphOS-only" game?
If it's released at the same time as the Mac version, then no, it's
not a port, just cross-developed. But that's not the point. The
point is that it's not a MorphOS exclusive. The point is that there's
no market for MorphOS exclusives. Or AmigaOS exclusives, for that
matter.
Hey, I don't like it, but that's reality. I've done (and am doing) my
part, but there's got to be a lot more people willing to get out there
and do stuff and buy stuff and not just sit around posting messages, if
anything is to ever get better. ;)

Posted by catohagen on 09-Jul-2002 17:51 GMT
why the h*ll bother with games anyway....its a waste of time, as most
(potential) users of both amigaone and pegasos were youngsters maybe
10/15 years ago and played games then....I can't imagine people
25 years and up buying old games ported to amigaone/pegasos, h*ell
Feeble Files came in 97 ?
If you really are a gamer you should (atleast in my view) have a pretty
decent pc system or a good console like PS2/Gamecube and get your kicks
from there, why bother buying 1+ year old games just because you *can* play
them on your amiga or buying them just to support the gamecompany making
them?..
Instead of porting those games that sell like 200 copies, consentrate on making
something useful/unique so its worth keeping to amiga...
I'm 26 years old, have 2 kids....wife and house....I will *never* buy a
(old/ported)game for my amiga (did buy Shogo, havent opened the case yet)
unless its an *good* orginal game (wouldn't mind roketz on RTG though)
My son have my PS1, so only games we buy is kids games for that one..
I *will* buy every app that will come around for amiga/amigaone that I can use,
and I have bought everything available thats useful for me..my latest purchases
are VHI studio (transfer family pics from my digicam) and Ibrowse(but use aweb :)
A good idea maybe for game porting companies would be to listen to the users
and make a poll or something on whats needed next, be it games/apps/drivers for
hardware ? instead of just decide to port that game, and 50% in the process
announce it to the community..
Just my view/opinions, any1 disagree ? yes ? please reply then and tell me importance
of pc/mac ports of games, as I might be wrong...

ehaines doesnt know jack. If you look as David did these are morphos supported, and if ehaines
would look further he would find support for the morphos in the form of much bigger companies.
ehaines and others wont admit nor do this, they would rather argue on somethign of which they know
nothing of and/or they lie . The fact remains games are being ported
to morphos even before they are ported to mac, and mac users have noticed this and the fact that they
like the morphos shows that the Pegasos has a firm base.
As always, if you wait and not support ,everyone looses. Nobody waited and supported
the wintel world and thats why we are in this mess. Support the Pegasos as its proven
he way to go . It may not be the true Amiga but its a dam site clsoe then the so called a1.
WE will have a true new " AMiga" again sooner then you think,but you must
support somebody that is goign the right way, and that is the Pegasos.

Three problems...
1. You mean 16.8 million (2^2416777216)
2. Classic Amiga hardware wasn't up to it really, try an order of magnitude less if you want a count of different colors that could be reliable reproduced.
3. You'd require a 8129 x 2048 display to get them all on screen at once
But, yeah, it was still very impressive for its time.

Months ago, I posted that Morphos is doomed due to the impending lack of software support v/s the support that will be received by Amiga. There are people in high places that want Amiga to return. I even dropped a hint or two.
More I cannot say.
I will be there.
You should too.
Many programmers and software houses got their start with Amiga and are now disenchanted with PC.
Be there or be Square.

I agree with the guy who pointed out that adults play games. I read an article that a lot of people in their thirties and late twenties grew up on video games and continue to play them. It is a form of entertainment, like movies. You don't really say "I used to go to movies when I was a kid, but I outgrew them."
It is an unattainable goal to have equivalents to the greatest current PC games on MorphOS. They have millions and millions of people buying those PC games. They expend millions of dollars in development costs on a single game. But it is possible for us to have good games. RageHard is a surprisingly good example. I would also look forward to the good open-source multiplayer games like FreeCraft and Tales of Tamar and FreeCiv and what have you.
We are now at the advanced stage of development where people are speculating about and looking for the "killer app." I hope some program distinguishes itself in this regard but we don't really HAVE to have a killer app. In my opinion there is a market for diversity, there are people like me who are into a genuine modern alternative computer system, wanting to escape Windows horribleness but not quite buying into Mac or Linux etc. The Pegasos machine and MorphOS can achieve some degree of success in this market, and who knows, they might really take off! It is important to be realistic, but not cynical, about this stuff.

So how come nobody has a Pegasos? The AmigaOne is already more successful
and in the hands of more users than the Pegasos, and the "user" version
isn't even out yet.
I have nothing in particular against the Pegasos, and in fact it has far
more in common with the AmigaOne than there are differences, but even the
worst AmigaOne troll isn't half as bad as you. If bplan was smart, they'd
denounce you and tell everyone not to listen your lies. You're the worst
publicity they've got.
