AmiQuake new 68k Quake Port for AGA/RTG

I just finished a new port of WinQuake to 68k (AGA/RTG).

Quote:
Overview:

Port of WinQuake which is the "official" source port of Quake to AmigaOS.


Requirements:

1) An AGA/RTG Amiga
2) A fast 68060 processor
3) 32MB of FASTRAM
4) The original game or demo


Features:

1) 256 color double buffered graphics
2) Mouse wheel support
3) Native Paula 8 bit stereo sound


Configuration Options:

There are a few Tooltypes to play with.

1) DISPLAY_TYPE: PAL, NTSC or RTG
2) CLOSE_WB: Close the Workbench (3.1 ROMS recommended)
3) nosound: Disable sound
4) rougue: Use the offical Quake TC
5) hipnotic: Use the offical Quake TC
6) game: Use the specified TC

Mouse interpolation is now enabled by default (console command 'm_filter').
Free mouse look is now enabled by default (console command '+mlook').
The maximum number of particles that can be used is now configurable (console
command 'r_maxparticles'),
this can be from as low as 8 particles up to a maximum of 2048 particles.

You must run AmiQuake from the WB, running from the Shell is not supported.
You must specify a stack of at least 300,000 (some Total Conversions may need
even more).
Any errors *should* be written to a file called 'ERROR.TXT' in the game
directory.


Performance Considerations:

1) If you have a Blizzard you should really be using BlizKick to get most speed
out of your Amiga,
Apollo users should be using RemApollo.
2) Install HSMathLibs.
3) Fast File System is actually really slow, use PFS3 instead.


Limitations:

1) No network support
2) No hardware 3D support

Thanks and acknowledgments:

The EAB beta testers, Peter McGavin for the starting point and John Selck for
the assembler routines.


This is another of my ports that could be enhanced with Indivision AGA Graffiti support one day

I'll upload it to AmiNet in the next couple of days.
