This youtube film makes me boot up my real IIgs! Should get it out of the box soon! I'll contact one of the authors to inform you put it up online here, to "conserve" the memories to this great demo!
Impressive demo, very Amiga like, recognise a couple of Amiga mod tunes in there.
Another thing I recognise is the Ninjaforce logo, is the same logo as Amiga game developer Thalion from Germany. Thalion released games - No Second Prize, Lionheart, Ambermoon on the Amiga in 1992-93 so I'm guessing they must be the same coders and maybe graphic artists.
I know some of the later members of the group had coded for the Amiga so that makes sense. I own an Amiga as well, it's sitting right next to me while I type this actually. Was playing Golden Axe just recently :)
I agree, no emulation can match the smoothness of playing stuff on real iigs hardware. I got the card for a little over $100, so not cheap, but one of the more decent prices I've seen. I was searching for one for close to a year, hoping I'd be one of those lucky guys you hear about that find fully loaded IIGSes in thrift stores for $5. But that never happened. Still, worth every penny in my book.
@BrianPicchi wow $100 is really cheap for one of those from the $200+ that i have been seeing them go for. I wish that i can only be as lucky. does the ZipGSX modify the power up screen any like the transwarp does ?
have you ever thought of hooking the IIgs up to a video capture card (or usb dongle) to get better video quality ? they sell those 3.5" to RCA audio cables which would also help with sound. RCA video out on the IIgs will work on many RCA equip TVs so it should be able to be done.
The colours and sounds are just amazing for a computer of that year.

You should check those games out on youtube.

yeah, real hardware can play this much smoother then emulation. this proves it.

@madmax2069 well a little over $100.
I wonder what was causing the music to screw up in the main menu.
