Atari ST or Atari 2600

Hmmmm, from Atari 2600 to super quality 3d games...

Feeblez · Jun 9, 2003

what about the Atari 800!? bah!

this would make a great emulator for our little handheld ... in a way it was the grandfather of the Amiga (same custom chip designer IIRC)

Atari were pissed when Commodore got their hands on Amiga :lol:

Deus Ex is a God among games!!!! It is Far, Far better than Half-Life ever was (I own both)

Well, Goldeneye revolutionised the FPS genre IMO.

Ive not played Deus-Ex, but I've watched my friend for some hours and it does look like its fucking amazing.

And Im not even an FPS fan...

thebluenewt · Jun 9, 2003

Goldeneye is probably the best FPS ever, though I wish it was a PC game, I just don't like using a joypad for them...

Deus-ex is also amazing, multiple ways of doing things and all. AI was awful though.

Half-life 2 doesn't use scripting for its AI so you can go through the same area and different things will happen, that's enough for me to know it's gonna be damn good!

Mofokubik · Jun 10, 2003

are you serious?!?!?! goldeneye is far from the best fps...
n64s fps games werent that much to brag about...sept for turok, that game was sweet as hell....
anyway, dreamcast also had its fair share of great fps games. Halflife, unreal, quake1, quake2, quake3a, Doom, wolf3d, etc....
I hate to admit it, but halflife on ps2 is also great...dont know about the other ps2 fps games though....
xbox with all of the upcomming games will own in my opinion. halflife2, halo1, halo2, doom3, turok evolution (i know its multiplatform) and more crap.

I vote 2600, because i own that one. All the games are classics, so simple yet so so fun. This is back in the day where gaming used to be fun to play, not just drooling at jaw dropping good graphics (halflife2) but then again, halflife2 kicks all the ass in the world.

ST is 16 bit like an Amiga or SNES.

In fact, ST and Amiga are 32bit computers. Unfortunatelly the 68000 is often called 16bit or 16/32bit CPU, however, it´s a true 32bit CPU.

Really? I thought the 68000 was a 16 bit chip and the 68020 was the 32 bit version (Amiga 1200 and CD32)

Where did you read this? any links please?

here is info on it

Thanks for the link, it says what I thought though, the Atari ST (along with many other computers/consoles) was built with the 68000 chip and it was 16 bit, I was looking for any evidence saying that it was in fact a 32 bit chip like ctirad said, but I couldn't find anything.

As for whether the amiga 68000 chip was 32bit or not.

Here`s the info i think you were looking for.

http://roger.trideja.com/amiga/.

And another,

http://www.amiga.com/Infos/OS.shtml.

And just for the fun of it, Another,

http://www.xs4all.nl/~rimmer/amiga1000.htm.

I think that concludes the theory of 16 or 32bit.

Pfft... They're all PC ports, much better with a mouse and keyboard.

Goldeneye is definitely the best console FPS, though I guess Halo challenges it, Turok 3 was good the rest, not so much...

Wow, this has gone so off topic!

Just thought I should let you know I am in the process of porting the emulator
to the GP32 (see www.gamepark.com). Thanks to the nice clear interfaces (good
job guys

) it has not been too hard so far. Graphics, sound and the
joystick are all working. Missile Command is working great

I plan to spend the next week or two fixing some bugs (spontaneous reboots ->
GP32 libc bugs mostly...), writing some input configuration code (not many
keys on this thing!) and cleaning it up. Then I'll do an initial release. Of
course src will be available (since atari800 is GPL). If I can get a nice
neat patch then it would be nice to get it into the main tree, but thats
later and needs discussion.

Thanks,

Mark Watson
