I'm quite sure it will make it to some cover CD's... I would have
liked to make some kind of "patch" archive so that you could use the
PC demo with amiga binaries, but this does not work out - the latest
PC demo is 1.0, and the Amiga version is 1.06, and the files are
incompatible.

Hardware. Why use Software when HW rendering looks so much better :)

Still, keep in mind that FPS numbers are meaningless. If the game runs
smoothly, then the frame rate is unimportant. The biggest thing is
that the frame rate remains constant, everything else will look jerky,
even if its between 30 and 50 FPS...
