According to me they are equal about gaming speed

I mean, an A500 (w. 1 meg) and a Sega Megadrive

Commodore got it right wthen they stick a great big CD32 Advert outside the Sega headquareters and it read:

"To be this good, will take Sega ages" :-)

I like the Sega Megadrive (Genesis). It had great graphics and speed, which put the SNES to shame at times. The sound was good as well, check out the Sonic games! Now that brings back some memories! :-)

But the bottom line is:

Amiga is clearly a better mint!


Couldn't Mega Drives be put into Towers and used like PCs i heard about from somewhere?!

hmmm.... and the Saturn?

I still have to get a 32X upgrade for the Sega and a Doom cartridge, and I have to get a copy of Alien Breed 3D for CD32, then I can verify that "in your face" Commodore adressed to Sega

Genesis was a good machine at it's time, but once you got it, you couldn't do more than playing arcade-like games... the amiga could word-process, calculate, run DPaint, program, run adventure games and was upgradeable. In theory, if you have an A500 with an internal 030 accel. 4 megs Fast Ram, 3.1 roms (are there any for the A500?) and a GVP hard-drive, you can run OS 3.9 right?

I personally like the Sega Dreamcast. That was a lovely piece of hardware, and deserved much better than what it did. Quake 3, Virtua Tennis, Jet Set Radio, Chu Chu Rocket, Shenmue and loads of quality games that Playstation 2 owners wouldn't know the meaning of.

[Van_M]

Oh yeah I forgot. you need a cd-rom as well!

Yes all that is possible. Accelerater, Ram, Hard Drive and the ROMs. An Amiga 500 can be made like an Amiga 2000. Are there anybody out there with a setuip like this?

Everything released by Sega after the Mega Drive/Genesis was completely failure. Including the Game Gear, which is a good handheld console - I love playing it's games under AmiMasterGear.

[CU_AMiGA]

Yes. I loved AmiMasterGear as well. Can this be played under a Blizzard PPC and graphics card?

[bloodline]

I used to play Sonic on AmiMasterGear!!! THat was actually fun!!! :-)

[drHirudo]

No, AmiMasterGear directly bangs the AGA hardware (that's why it's fast and gets reasonable speed even on Blizzard 1220) and disables multitasking, but you might try with MasterGear:
MasterGear1_5
MasterGear2_0

There also is Mega Drive emulator - AmiGenerator, but it's deadly slow on any current 680x0 configuration. Never saw it's performance on PPC.

The GameGear was brilliant! A lot better than the monochrome GameBoy at that time.

'Nuff said :-D

[CU_AMiGA]

I wish AmiMasterGear would run on my setup. If only there was a patch for it to run on my setup up. Then i'd be happy, at the moment, it runs far too fast! :-(

AmiGenerator is okay, i used the PPC version, and runs okay with no sound on. Never could get the 040 version going though. :-/
