I hadn’t seen the 64 version. Very impressive. Is that stock ? I never suggested that the Amiga couldn’t do a port just that why limit it to a stock machine. What serious Amiga user is running a stock machine in this day and age ?

Not everyone wants to pay over the odds for outdated hardware to try and force the Amiga into this century, it died in the 90s get over it! |

I ran a stick Amiga for very little time so to me remembering was always an expanded 500 and then really expanded a1200. Even back then. Don’t get why everyone wants to limit the potential of poets by running an 500 with 1/2 meg ram. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

For me as a coder, I wonder what the appeal would be for a "somehow inbetween" version of Limbo.
First off, if I want to play Limbo, I can do that on around 3 or 4 different devices in this household. The C64 version is impressive, because it's taking what the C64 has to offer, and pushes it to its limits. If somebody took a stock Amiga, and made something comparable with the Blitter, Sprites and Coppermagic the Amiga has to offer, it would be fascinating for me. Using a 030-config with the sole intention to use the faster CPU to bring more stuff unto the screen sounds boring to me. Your mileage may vary, off course... |

Yeah that is always a question, if you are going to do a port, you have the skills, why not do an original game?
The issue usually comes down to content creation. When porting, you have everything laid out for you already: the level designs, graphics and style, music... all you have to do (almost) is put it together. Usually also games are initiated by coders, who might not want to deal with getting someone else involved with those other departments, so a port is tempting in the fact that you can maybe do it all on your own. Sure, Limbo on the C64 is impressive, but as you said, it's a game available on so many other platforms, that beyond the novelty of "wow that runs amazing", dunno what extra value it might have. PS: lots of people prefer stock machines. I know I do. I have even taken the accelerator out of my A1200. Runs more stable without that piece of shit in it and the constant fiddling and arm wrestling with it for stuff to run properly!! Another important stock configuration is the CD32. A lot of us love that thing, personally I use it as my main Amiga gaming platform. Accelerators only ruined hardware milking in the Amiga. If we had none, the level of code prowess you see coming out of the C64 would also be a thing on the Amiga. |
