@ALL
Great stuff gents! Keep them coming!! Quote:
We've used the same logic for games that have been tagged as using HAM, EHB, overscan etc. too. It just seems a little OTT to tag a game as hires, HAM etc. if only relatively minor/peripheral use of it is made for a game (i.e. titlescreens etc.) and the same type of graphics are not actually being used in the game itself (see, for example, Street War - HAM titlescreen, but very ho-hum lores graphics are used in-game! ). IIRC, that's an example of a game that uses lores overscan (PAL/NTSC) mode rather than hires/hires interlaced screenmodes. Last edited by DrBong; 15 February 2020 at 22:01.

It does default to lowres though. Edit: found it. Check here: http://www.lemonamiga.com/games/docs.php?id=515 - pressing H switches between hires/laced and lowres/nonlaced |

@demoniac, roondar
Cool, I'll have to remember to add two tags to Dragon's Lair's HOL entry!! EDIT: Geez, what a lame implementation of hires for Dragon's Lair - all audio cuts out!!! No wonder I haven't seen anyone mention it before. Definitely something to mention in the notes of the HOL entry! Interestingly, the game has support for interlace mode also. From the game manual: H – Switch High Resolution mode on and off. ln High Resolution mode, the picture is condensed and centered in the middle of the screen. To see your Amiga reach new heights of graphic excellence, switch to this mode! Audio is disabled while high resolution mode is active. I – Toggle interlace mode on/off. Interlace mode will double the number of lines displayed on your monitor thus eliminating scan lines and improving image quality. This may, however, cause flicker on some monitors.

I do remember this Public Domain version of Missile Command that was high-res, was great fun to play back in the day, sampled explosions and all.

I think it doesn't increase the resolution though, so you end up with a smaller display. |

The Pawn on ST and Amiga uses a 320px screen for the pull down graphics and an 80 column screen for the text with a raster/copperlist split. The graphics are 16 colour standard ST images. The Guild of Thieves was the same I think, and probably FISH and Corruption too but it's been decades since I have looked at them.
The parser on The Pawn is awesome though so I forgave it's ST-port job origins |

There should be a recap on first post to avoid saying the same games over again.

Bound to be some more PD games that used hi-res, for a start Strikes 'n' Spares, an American-coded tenpin bowling game from an Amiga Power coverdisk in 1994, was high-resolution too.

Probably you mean High Res as 640x400 or 640x512 but i always suspected APB to run in 640x256, not sure though; plus there was Future Tank that did run in med res interlaced.
Some times ago there were the ports of Tapper and Spy Hunter via scorpion engine: the arcade originals used high res sprites on a low res background and would have loved to see the same look on Amiga using med res interlaced. |

The Pawn, Guild of Thieves and probably the other text input graphic adventures from Magnetic scrolls are 640x200 for text but the graphics for the locations are 320x200 because they are all ST port jobs graphically IIRC.
I had an idea for my own custom 31 colour 640x512 screen mode a long time ago, couldn't be bothered to create the data for them though (sprites make up colours 16-31 but are not high res so lots of messing about finding which 16 colours are used the least and fit the best with the limitations of the sprite multiplexing/beam racing overlaid on the bitmap pixels in hi-res lace). Would be nice to do a graphic adventure with that sort of screen display. |
