The Golem - Unreleased Amiga Game

Unreleased Amiga Game - The Golem, 1997 Underground Software.

No Sound in this demo. Nothing much to show, but it shows the anim game engine at work. The whole gameis controlled this way. An AGA Amiga with 6x speed cd-rom is theonly basic requirment to run the game.

Looks like bunch of animations. This game could be really good. Unfortunately, just like many projects that time, ended in trashcan. Probably requirements killed market of Amiga games. MC68040/33 or 40MHz was the minimum for 3D games. Turbo boards with 68040 wasn't cheap and Amiga was not cheap either. To comfortable playing 68060 was good choice, and that made Amiga gaming platform too expensive.

@kyb69 That was what could have made this title stand out. All that was required was a Standard A1200/A4000 and a 6x cdrom ! Its all streamed animations yes, and sega cd certainly showed how not to make an fmv game. This looks like it could have worked well and the development tools were also going to be sold as a package so others could make similar games.

is it one of those full motion picture games ??

[AmigaOmega]

Yeah it is, 100%. A shame it was never released. Would be good if the developers could push out what still exists of thegame before its lost forever (if not already). I think the development tools were going to be a seperate product too so others could make similar games.

i have a demo of this game somewhere in the old cds, playable but "playable"...butt for the time these graphics are incredibile...AMAZING GRAPHICS...amazing graphics just right now if you think about system processor of A1200...

@resistanceunion I guess is talking about of the game graphics for a computer with only 12mhz and no 3D graphic card like many PC at that time... To play BioForge the requirements are very hight!!! 3D graphics card, 32mb Ram minimum etc... etc.. we are talking here of a computer (A1200) with none of that capabilities, and only 256 colors at the same time on the screen, for 1997 and the hardware in question they are AMAZING graphics!
