|    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                             --        email: mussi@snoop.alphanet.ch | "If you're taking flak,       Fidonet: 2:301/133 | you're above the target."                     --- MBSE BBS v0.36.00 (Linux-i386)        * Origin: Snoop InfoSystems - a Micro$loth Free Zone 4ever (2:301/133)    |
