68060 -only Amiga games?

[eXeler0]

I'd say Quake qualifies as a 060 only game but its a PC port. Are there any other exclusive Amiga games that are 060 only?
AB3d2: TKG was arguably only playable on 060 but to say its 060 only is a bit of a stretch..
Can we assemble a little list?

[jack-3d]

Most of "3D" games in 1x1 fullscreen needs 060.

My list: Breathless, Gloom(s), Genetics Species and then games like Xtreme Racing, Flying High, Crossfire 2, Earth 2140

I wouldn't say Quake was 060 only. I play it on an 040/25 and it runs ok... Well, it's playable. And I also played AB3dII on the same set-up.

Feasibly, unless a game is compiled to run specifically on 060, then it's not 060-only.

However, I agree that you have to take playability into account, and stuffing Quake through anything less than 060 may not necessarily give you much of a 'game'.

So are we looking at FPS, texture-mapped games only? I can't think of any other genre that requires the 060 specifically. Happy to be told otherwise, though

I enjoyed Genetic Species

LuMan, not FPS only - its understandable that they qualify but really.. any really demanding game is fine.
Havent played Earth 2140 but I can see how a "starcraft clone" could require a 060.
TFX was barely playable on 060 but that was mostly due to poor optimization.
It would be nice to see how good a 060 only driving game could be for example.
Maybe something that uses heavy interpolated voxels..

Having a bit more of a think, how about Alien F1 (aka Virtual GP). It plays sort of OK on an 040/25, but is much better suited to 060.

Shadow Of The Third Moon uses a pretty decent voxel engine, but only lists 040/40 for max detail. I wonder how it plays with 060...

I remember a demo for a Mario64-style game. Can't remember what it was called, but if anyone knows and has played the demo with an 060 it would be interesting.

Tales From Heaven?

[Schlachtwerk]

Works good on Blizzard IV

[LuMan]

@CodyJarrett - That's the one. I remember it being on a cover disk and playing it loads. I'll dig it out again and fire it up

@LuMan I actually have Shadow of the third moon but its on CD and Im currently in the process of fixing my CD setup.. ordered buffered ide ports from amigakit but havent received it yet.
When ive tried it Ill let you know. ;-)
Meanwhile, this one seems like a 060 only for sure...
Quests of Nargoth.. it runs in 640x256 @ HAM8

The guy who did the intro screen of this game and I were both in the same class at university.
I tried the demo version of Tale from Heaven many years ago and I didn't really got into it, I found the game very monotonous (too much slow paced).


On the other hand, "Payback" (a GTA like game) ran like a charm on my Blizzard 1260.

I got the CD years ago, but I may have lost it. I do remember playing it on my 040/25 and loving it. Be sure to post a video when you get your CD sorted

QoN does look like it needs something big to push it along. In the linked vid an NPC 'glides' by at about 4:00. I was really enjoying it up until that point and felt that a couple of frames of animation would be nice. But it still looked pretty darn good!

@Jack - Yep, Payback looks great. I'll definitely check out how it runs on my set-up. I wonder if a similar approach can be used for a version of the old PS1 game 'Loaded' on the Amiga..

Just think, we could have a new Alien Breed with this engine... or Chaos Engine....
