Hi, just thought I'd bring attention to this rather awesome project I came across recently.
Alien Breed 3D was my all time favourite 3D shooter (well, the only other one I really liked was Doom, but there you go). It was originally released for the Amiga 1200/4000/CD32 and whilst the game was great fun, it suffered from a small viewing window, and the world being rendered using 2x2 pixel blocks, so as to be able to run with modest hardware requirements. Even with these modest requirements in mind, Amiga emulation on the Pandora would not be able to play this at a decent speed (and E-UAE won't play it at all - it needs AGA support).
Well somebody appears to be converting the map files into Quake maps, so it looks like we may once day have a better-than-the-original looking version to carry around in our pockets
A video can be found here. Original thread on amigaworl here.
