Sandruzzo just show how wrong they were !  |
The graphics certainly look very impressive in EHB, I'm really looking forward to playing it
As to 'impossible', I don't think anyone ever really said that. What people (me included) did point out is the performance difference: Blitter throughput for EHB is about 25% lower than in it is for 32 colour mode.
Which may mean downscaling the amount of on screen objects to keep it running at 50Hz. Then again, it may not - it all depends on how busy Rygar gets.
AFAIK, there are a few EHB games out there already. However, I never got why they didn't use EHB for the LucasArts stuff though - that would've worked quite well.

We'll have to agree to disagree there
Personally I think the Atari ST/Amiga ports of Xain'd Sleena are rather lackluster and even harder to play than on the arcade.
