Theoretically it's possible with HAM mode I guess, but it would be so slow as to be unplayable I would have thought.

Actually I remember reading that there was a game under development years and years ago that used HAM, it was never released though and off the top of my head I can't remember the name. Will have a look...

And how about 256 color AGA converted games of old OCS classics?

turrican3 · 20 May 2007, 16:37

no it's seems to have a programm for the zx spectrum emulatore, with it you can change the number of colors to a game, with hard work for sure

Graham Humphrey · 20 May 2007, 16:38

Found it! Dynamic Debugger, as featured in this issue of Amiga Power (page 94).

Of course you have to do it manually.

Graham Humphrey · 20 May 2007, 16:41

Come to think of it, why would you want to do it anyway? Something like Unreal looks amazing as it is. It's not the number of colours, it's what you do with them.

Retro-Nerd · 20 May 2007, 16:42

Some games needs a color update, hehe.

Okay, point taken!

i agree

turrican3 · 20 May 2007, 17:02

if someone have enough time to do a program like this, i'm ready to try it and convert games.

Graham Humphrey · 20 May 2007, 17:09

That would take a massive amount of effort, I'm not sure it would be feasible.

turrican3 · 20 May 2007, 17:18

yes it will be more difficult than zxspectrum games but the amigans are better faster stronger and really more crazy

Graham Humphrey · 20 May 2007, 17:21

Yeah, how else would I have got into Amigas

Well, Brataccas was originally conceived on the Spectrum as Bandersnatch.......maybe they forgot they were coding for Amiga

I always thought it looked like a Spectrum game......

I guess, they even forgot they tried to code a game.

It must have been very hard in 1986 spending $2000 on an A1000 and convincing your friends that games like Brataccas were the future of gaming entertainment!

Are those Magnetic Scrolls games really 4096 color? I seems like just the title screens were HAM mode.

All Bill Williams games are 4096 color. Even Mind Walker (higscore screen)

I remember a game called Top Banana which claimed to use HAM. Not sure if it did though.
