    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    A Chance In Hell looks like something they cobbled together with the 3D Construction Kit.

    3D Construction Kit! Have there been any other 3D Kit games worth knowing about made in the past two decades? I only ever played Castle Master and Total Eclipse out of the properly published Freescape engine games, and absolutely nothing "unofficial".

    There is new site at http://www.3dconstructionkit.co.uk/ which is compiling an archive of games and documentation for 3D Construction Kit.

    If you would like to play C64 A Chance In Hell, bear in mind that there are two versions, the standard C64 version and the "eXtreme" version, which has been modified to run under C64 emulation running at high speed, e.g. 25x CPU.

    Does this new Amiga have compatibility with say Workbench 2 and 3? As in I probably could play all my old Amiga games (on a real Amiga, not an emulator).

    I have 2 huge boxes full of my old Amiga Games on floppies. I still have my old Amiga floppy drive, provided it would work with this new computer.

    You can install UAE on it and emulate an Amiga on your "Amiga". Though Amiga OS 4.0 is backwards compatible with 3.1 afaik so you can probably run WHDL games or anything that works with 3.1. But I doubt it comes with a port to plug your floppy drive in.

    I wonder what the target audience is for such a computer and how many units they expect to sell.

    I'm probably not neckbeardy enough. I'm perfectly content emulating the odd game on my PC.

    The list of officially published Freescape games isn't that long, six games in total.

    Driller
    Dark Side
    Total Eclipse
    Total Eclipse 2
    Castle Master
    Castle Master 2: The Crypt

    Of these, Dark Side is the only one I haven't played. Driller has you roaming around on a planet's surface, looking to drain a planet of dangerous gas emissions by placing drills at exact locations. Very primitive compared to the other Freescape games.

    Total Eclipse 2 was only released on some 8-bit platforms, and features an invisible maze. Don't bother.

    Castle Master 2 was interesting, everything about it screams "DLC" instead of being an actual sequel. If you died in Castle Master, you were supposed to have to play through Castle Master 2 so that your character can "escape" from the afterlife and try again with the main quest of CM1. Technical restraints forced this aspect of the game to be released in a standalone product. Sound familiar? :smug:

    And no, I haven't heard of any "unofficial" Freescape/3D Construction Kit releases either.

    Amiga X1000 is too expensive to be a retro computer and too uncompatibile to be normal one. I also wonder, who is the target. I'll stick with my real good old Amiga.
