Non AGA games that utilize extra memory? - Page 12

Amnios will precache something if you have extra Fast or Slow RAM

Sky High Stuntman (1991) (Codemasters)
Game assets stored into memory if 1mb is available presumably. Interesting case since said game makes use of additional ram
AND have you choose between music and sfx (grab the fixed version)
AND uses 2 independent fire buttons

A textbook case, wouldn't you say so ? It's a missing entry from all these lists, so I will post accordingly

possibly the most wasteful use of the extra RAM ever

or the most original, considering the release year

Sword of Sodan - the extra FAST or SLOW RAM will allow you to watch up to 2 hours of game replay;
ie Restarting the game you'll have this possibility

it's also in the manual

Fate ~ Gates Of Dawn - sfx available with 1MB RAM, else the game is silent (past the intro)

From rkauer at AmiBay:

Lemmings (all versions) detects any extra RAM and utilizes it.

That would probably include the specials and demos.

Can 2 hours of gameplay fit into 512k? That'd be about 4kb per minute or 80 bytes per frame (assuming it ran at 50fps?). Was there really that little going on in the game logic?

I suspect that this was probably used less frequently than the the replays in Indianapolis 500 which you got with 1Mb?

i can only presume that the lenght of the replay is determined of how much extra RAM you have, it would be interesting to exactly know

iirc only Fast or Slow RAM are accepted, no extra Chip

yes def less used than Indy500

Cadaver & Cadaver ~ the payoff, more (richer) sfx available with 1MB RAM (and possibly, slightly faster gameplay). Check slave readme for details.

Flight of the Intruder - extra sound and ability to change to different planes, I believe.

Just found a review of Wayne Gretzky Hockey that claims that there are 'additional graphics' when played on a machine with more than 512k RAM.

Carthage: claimed in the in-game credit page (click on "Carthage" button in UI), that the game does make use of the extra memory, but "will operate on a standard unexpanded Amiga with 512K of memory"
