I've just looked at the back of by TKG box and the display is at full screen. Does anyone know how to achive this or is it just a feature of the non existent CGX version?

I'm sure you can run it full screen by changing the display settings. It has been a while so I can't remember if it was a menu option in the game or some keyboard shortcuts. I do seem to remember you could toggle the screen settings while playing using some keys to change the pixel size from 2x2 to 1x1 and the size of the display area.

i know if you press "+"and "-" on the number pad you can adjust the size but never to full screen. I also know there is a rtg patch so at least you can try different screenmodes but nothing to get a full screen in 1x1 mode. Never tried it in 2x1 mode as i've always had a good machine and wanted to show it off with a good FPS.

I have to admit, I was utterly disapointed with Alien Breed 3D, the graphics were messy at best and well at worse. (and this is on my 060)

I never got to play ABII-TKG infact i think the first one put me off to be honest.

I completely reveled in the 2d games though, some fantastic gaming times!

I did hammer Gloom, but its an ugly beast even in 1x1


but like Harrison, when DOOM came out for the Amiga.... OH MY, 640x256x8!!!

Then Doom 2: Thy Flesh Consumed!!, Hexen, Heretic... Quake (even though that was suck worthy even on my cybervision643d mk2 and 64mb 060@50 ) fecking loved the music CD that comes with it though.... I used to put that on playing in the back ground when playing Doom.


I loved the Music from Death masque, to be honest, thats the best thing i can say about that game LOL.

Boy do i feel dumb. It's not in the documentation but if you press "Enter" on the numeric keypad you get a full screen. However even with rtg mode using my PPC it's slow. I'll just go back to playing Quake.

So I take it there are still people today who play FPS games on the Amiga?

I asked about the Alien Breed 3D games as I was considering collecting them, would that still be interesting today?
[Reply]

It is definitely still of interest because even though the Amiga was not suppose to be able to do 3D graphics like Doom due to the way it's graphics work, people quickly proved this theory wrong and showed it was very possible with a whole series of 3D doom style games.

I had actually moved to the dark side by that point and played Quake on my nice shiny new (at the time) P2 PC.

I found the first game for sale for 20GBP

http://retrogamescatalog.com/acatalo...oot-Em-Up.html

Is that worth it?
[Reply]

It might be if anything cheaper to attempt to buy these games using AmiBay

£20 for a game thats been out of production for nearly 10 years, is a bout £18 to much LOL

but at the end of the day, you need to be happy with the product and the price you pay. but I would atleast give it a go first.
[Reply]

I agree. Try posted a wanted advert on Amibay and see if anyone contacts you. £20 is quite expensive for an Amiga game. Most Amiga games sell on ebay for about £1-6, with the exception of very specific titles like Moonstone.

But how much you are prepared to pay comes down to how much you want a game I suppose and how long you are prepared to wait for one to appear for sale.

I did just check on ebay for you and found these:

Alien Breed 3D 2 - €1
2D Alien Breed games - £0.99
