I know you're kidding, but you know as well as I do that coders, even democoders, had a problem doing "chunky"-style graphics with the Amiga's planar hardware. It just wasn't straightforward; it wasn't what the Amiga was designed for. MCGA ever since 1987 has had a direct-pixel-address scheme (it's a linear 64K bitmap) so stuff like texture mapping and Wing Commander scaling/rotation stuff was easy. But on the Amiga... Geez, the only texture-mapped stuff I can remember seeing on my A1200 was in demos. I don't think I've ever seen a 3D texture-mapped game for Amiga (but then again I haven't tried very hard). -- http://www.MobyGames.com/ The world's most comprehensive gaming database project. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
