- Hello Thompson Yip
- [snip SimCity2000]
- TY> Currently, all IBM games need at least 486/66 + 8M ram + CD-ROM. How can
- TY> you expect a port can run faster than this configuration on Amiga?
-
- Here is something to try,
-
- get YAK off aminet.
-
- Configure it to allow you to depth arrange windows.
-
- then push the main window back.
-
- hey look, every bleeding window that can possibly open is open.
-
- So in 256 colour mode your poor layers.library is keeping track of
- far more layers than is actually required. No wonder it is slow.
-
- You also can't promote it to a graphics card screen.
-
- You can't even promote it to a different Amiga screen.
-
- I think it's just a terrible bit of programming.
-
- TY> Anyway, there is no more game from MAXIS. Someone told me that they'd
- TY> dropped Amiga.
-
- Judging by the effort they put into SimCity, I'm not surprised.
-
- Cheers,
-
- Doug.
