shaktiman Senior Member United Kingdom 1226 Posts	Posted - 07 Oct 2003 : 03:15:14 Yes we have spaces! in the heading I got my PSOne magazine(I subscribed) & tried out the demo disk, not a great deal of fun.................. I wanted to try doom, well I never liked it but I could'nt remember why, well its pretty cakky, comparing it to other similar products ie; Wolfstien on my mac(the best?) Substation on the ST ( only tried the demo but looked & felt good) Duke nukem 3d for mac (good fun, a tad complicated with the controls?) & doom is just cakk, I can't think of a game on the pc that I have ever enjoyed, I used to use Gemulator to play old st games like connect 4 & board games & they were better than what the pc has to offer. This young man is not getting rid of his PSOne, nor his 68k mac. I am shopping for Wolfstien on the PSOne. Another one was Teletubbies, not the best thing ever but kich enough to warrant it's purchase, then I found an old Teletubbies for pc & boy is it tedium. shaktiman Quadra 840av, prettymuchmaxedout8xcd drive os 8.1 128 meg ram, 500 meg hard drive 3 monitors 15" & 14" & 14"
The Balance Of Judgement Senior Member Ivory Coast 1006 Posts	Posted - 07 Oct 2003 : 04:43:29 If you have a fast X86 PC, Bleem or Virtual GameStation will plays games quite well. Several copies are floating about of these programs. Rumoured to offer superior graphics than even the original platform, these are always a rare jewel.

The Lightning Stalker Full Member USA 747 Posts	Posted - 07 Oct 2003 : 15:28:50 Quke is way better graphics wise. But it's not good unless you have a Pentium II or better and have GLQuake and a good video card. Graphics and storywise, the original Unreal is the best, IMHO. Quake II also has a good story.

Metrophage New Member Tonga 54 Posts	Posted - 10 Oct 2003 : 18:11:55 I have always wanted to try the "Ghost in the Shell" PS game, I will fire up an emu when I find it. hated Doom game play also, but I do much enjoy Quake. The game play and physics are more engaging, the rendering engine is decent. Lots ov good maps out there from and for the community. I play a lot ov MAME roms. Older ones work great, though my G3 400 has difficulty keeping up on emlating most late '90s games. My faves are Qix, a hacked "championship" version ov Pac Man, and Sengoku Ace. I

Unknown_K Full Member USA 602 Posts	Posted - 10 Oct 2003 : 23:10:10 HALO just came out for the pc (its a very crappy slow running port from the xbox). I dont think it will ever see a mac since Microsoft owns the company

Actually it's from what I've read/heard in some cases it runs as good if not better then on the x-trash. -------------------- Christophillis- Portable Squadren Commander 68k Macintosh Liberation Army Total 68k Macs Liberated: 6.02x10^23 Or just 6 Number One, you have the helm.

boredomconquersall Full Member Canada 613 Posts	Posted - 12 Oct 2003 : 20:27:22 it's because it was ment for the mac in the first place! they just re-compiled it for the X-trash so it would run at least correctly (GAME CONSOLES SHOULDN'T CRASH!!!! THEY ARE HARD-WIRED NOT TO CRASH UNLESS YOU DECIDE TO START HOT-PLUGGING GAMES!!!) and then published it.... it's been well past beta for a LOOOOONG time now, but M$ prolly added some random slowdown subroutines to make you buy the peecee bersion (b@$T@r!)1z3!) \/3r51o\|\\| yay for l33t! ).... anyhoo, enough psychobabble.

Captain Z Mobile Ops Commander USA 637 Posts	Posted - 12 Oct 2003 : 22:09:01 http://www.macgamer.com/features/?id=1634 This was up on MacGamer a few weeks ago. There is a linked video of an interview with the developers of Halo for Mac at Westlake Interactive. Most of Halo is complete, the networking is complete. All that is left is the little things like pixel shaders. From experience with Halo PC (my brother got it for his birthday), your going to need a very powerful Mac. I'd say a 1GHz minimum with GeForce 4Ti for a graphics card should be a minimum to what you'd need. My brother has been complaining non-stop about how his 2.6GHz P4 with nVidia GeForce FX 5600 can't run Halo at 30fps.

Seriously though, in the gaming world now, it's not an issue of who has the fastest, most memory or newest video card. Lately, you need a combination of many different kind of fast components to make a suitable gaming system. This is probably why new systems from Dell designed just for games, and the companies like AlienWare are becoming successful. *(I LOVE that Area-51's case, BTW) Official 68k videographer Official MLA TourGuide Editor of the MLAgazine "I'm just a normal computer geek who somehow landed a social life"

Probably would do better than a GeForce 4MX in the long run. (Halo is apparently coded to take advantage of ATI hardware, not nVidia) quote: Seriously though, in the gaming world now, it's not an issue of who has the fastest, most memory or newest video card. I completely agree. Although hardware it is still a main factor, it is changing to who can code the program the best to run on current hardware. Make the software better, and you won't need as much hardware for the same effect. ------------------ Captain Z - Mobile Operations Commander 68K Macintosh Liberation Army 32 68K Macs Liberated *Beholder of the Prototype Stick of Justice!*
