simon is a rare game...I know it now
works in low res if you run it from whdload or if you run it directly from floppy
but if you install it on hardisk on the normal way (not whdload) and if you run the game from a workbench in laced mode example 640x512 ....the game will run in a laced screen

seems the command runit opens the game in a WB background or something like that
also it seems the game can run in DBL pal or VGA mode....you do not need a 15hz monitor to run the game...will confirm later...tested only in winuae...will make more tests on my A1200 later

I still don't think that Minuous was thinking about the screenmode, but rather the used resolution of the game.

When Total Chaos made the jump to AGA, it also made the jump to high-res laced as well.

Super Stardust AGA uses some weird hi-res overlay for the shield and energy counters... at least

AGA can put hi-res and super-hi-res sprites on top of low-res screens. It can also hardware scroll a low-res screen by one super-hi-res pixel's worth. So Mr Beanbag features "quarter pixel scrolling" and "quarter pixel sprite placement" as well (the sprites aren't hi-res, but their screen co-ordinates are!).

True, even if Simon can open in a 640x512 laced screen, it's still a blown up 320x256 game.


Ms. Beanbag: Such a fantastic machine. So that's what sub-pixel scrolling is. I didn't know exactly what it was until now. Thanks for that clarification.
Any other game that uses these super high res/high res sprites over lowres backgrounds?

I'll have to try it again, but I'm pretty sure Fighter Duel is hi-res.
Then again, Flight Sims might not count.. ;-)

How about 1280x200 in AGA -> [ Show youtube player ]

What a weird resolution

Fourmaze, a Pacman clone available on aminet:game/actio/fourmaze.lha, uses a 640x263 ingame resolution.

APB runs in 640x256

I have been toying with the idea of a custom "diagonal" AGA screen mode, which is low-res bitplanes but each scanline is shifted with sub-pixel scrolling to create smoother diagonals. Could be used to render a game with hexagonal tiles, for instance.
