I use to work at Argonaut as a GPU designer; yes we were designing a 3D chip for the Playstation 2 at the time. Sadly Argonaut is no more but it's good to see our games are still going strong. I've always been a fan of the Amiga myself though, sorry...

You really dont know the game. You have tunnels (enter through the domes), and amaze yourself with... well, just try to reach space, and you unveal a solar system of 6 planets (if I recall) and a lot of moons.

@sfried Not really. I joined a new hardware team given the task of designing a 3D chip for the Playstation 2. Sadly we lost the deal with Sony to Toshiba - I think. We then specialized in creating micro processors for the embedded market - of course ARM was already there before us and is now the market leader.

@mynamesforest Cool. I never played Birds of Prey. In fact I only played Starglider from Argonaut. I was more into the Bitmap Brothers' games if truth be told.

@stevenkp Did you happen to work with the Starfox team as well?
-
@stevenkp Birds of Prey was my favourite Argonaut game

Yeah, had both computers (A500 and 520STFM) and frankly, never noticed any difference in game play on vector games myself.

I got my first ST back in early 1987. When friends had DOS machinese and Spectrum and 464CPC, I had the wonderful 520STf. I spent a fortune to upgrade the RAM to 1MB...Then in 1991 IIRC, I got my Mega STE to replace it, which I kept till 1994. I wish I still had it. It's quite interesting to see how much better Starglider plays on a faster computer. One thing that the ST never had was speed in 3D. Playing racing games or flight sims at single or barely double digit framerates was the norm

Thanks for posting: it's nice to see it again after so many years. :-)

Is this the 80's?

This is FALCON?? The sound SUCKS! Where's the DSP-enhanced sound samples??

In the falcon games maybe? This is an ST game played on falcon.

You mean the swirling coloured text at the beginning was on the ST?
Another thing, why show ST games on a far superior platform if there's no major improvements, except speed and frame rate? It's like putting an Amiga 500 game on an A1200.

Yes pure YM sound! On your second question, exactly because that's what I wanted to show. How ST games are played on the falcon. And yes framerate does make a huge difference.

Were you even aware that you could leave the planet's surface when you made this video?
