AGA games on non-AGA hardware - a curiosity - Page 2

IIRC back in the late '90s/early '00s there were actually a lot of AGA-only games published, such as:
Breathless
Tales From Heaven
Napalm
T-Zer0
Myst
Wet
Exodus
Foundation
XTreme Racing
Virtual GP
Virtual Karting
Gunbee F-99
Sixth Sense Investigations
Street Racer
Ultra Violent Worlds
Simon The Sorcerer II
Testament
Payback

Several of the AGA games you mentioned also support RTG so you can run them on big box ECS machines as long as you have a graphics card.

After scrolling back I guess this isn't news.

There's a lot of games missing from these "lists". Pinball Fantasies and Robocod to name a couple.

Speris Legacy is definitely AGA

It wasn't always though, was it? The demo ran on my A2000 and A600 (both had extra RAM), and looked just as good as the finished game ended up being (at least the first level featured in the demo). Other than the RAM required, what else prompted the switch to AGA-only during development?

Is Microcosm a real AGA game ? Previews of the game on the CDTV shows that he wasn't that different on this machine...

I'm also curious about some exclusive CD CD32 that shows no graphical difference from their ECS version title like Beneath a Steel Sky or Syndicate.
Is it possible in anyway to make them playable on the CDTV ?

And what about Flink, since it didn't have a floppy release, is it an AGA game or a ECS one ? (I would love to have a floppy based version with the music in it. This is quite unpleasant to play de musicless version on my A1200 since I don't have any CD player...)

It's definitely AGA. No chance of a "floppy based version with the music in it" considering the majority of the in-game music is CD audio, though.

Yes I thought it was previewed as en ECS game at first but it wasn't the case... It was a CD32 game till the beginning, and even if a 1200 version was considered they haven't made it.
