Thanks HexeH - at the moment the HOL doesn't include shareware or freeware games as there are too many of them. A few are sometimes included.

[HexeH]

ok, i understand

[andreas]

Cody, not all he listed were shareware games

[CodyJarrett]

Yes, I know!

@HexeH:

Permonie is *not* a game exclusively running on AGA machines, as it runs on OCS, ECS and AGA machines with no problems.
For playing it on an OCS/ECS machine, however, you need lots of RAM: 1.5 MB in total. Works with 1 MB Chip RAM + 512K from your RAM expansion.
Changed HOL entry to OCS/ECS.

[@Cody: or should we use ECS/AGA instead? What do you think? Best would be OCS/ECS/AGA]

[HexeH]

Yes i recognize ECS GFX in Prermonie, but in manual speaks: requirements AGA,

that is why i wrote AGA. But You're right

Unless the game loader detects AGA on A1200/4000 machines and loads an enhanced version instead of an OCS/ECS version (e.g. like Donk! ), then OCS/ECS would be best. It would be handy to add a note regarding the memory requirements for the game to work on OCS/ECS machines and mention that the manual mistakenly infers that the game is AGA.

Word goes 'round that Ambermoon [?] too will load an enhanced version of the game if you run it in A1200 mode and lots of RAM.

Duke, do you happen to know more maybe? Or Alex?

If yes, there maybe should exist an OCS/ECS/AGA option in HOL.

You may wonder, because I already did that yesterday, save from adding the bit with the wrong inference in the manual. Thanks DrBong and HexeH.
