   Portability of Amiga games to Linux   
   26 May 03 13:47:56   
   
   Hi!   
      
   I've had a pretty hot debate with another ex-Amigoid lifeform yesterday    
   evening   
    about the portability of Amiga games to Linux, especially where we have the   
   source available somewhere, like Boulderdaesh - has anybody ever attempted    
   it,   
   or is my idea just a pipe dream?   
      
   The rationale behind this is that AmigaOS4 will be something unix-like    
   anyway,   
   and since so many people will be running Linux on some other platform (like   
   Intel, sparc or MIPS), we might have more games available, meanwhile giving   
   away an incentive to actually buy new Amiga hardware. Is it worth the    
   advantage   
    if we want our platform to survive, or is it just another stopgap measure,   
   even if we know the Amiga as we knew it on the 68k side is dead?   
      
   Regards,   
      
   Rene
