Hi everyone,
Some of you might remember that I did an interview with Steffen Häuser, a.k.a. TheMagicSN, a few months ago in relation to the game he has ported for Hyperion Entertainment to AmigaOS 4, namely Heretic II.
It turns out that the boxed version of the game is now available for purchase from Alinea Computer in Germany!
Here is the link:
https://www.amiga-shop.net/en/Amiga-Software/Amiga-Games/Heretic-II-for-AmigaOS-4::1354.html
The price is 44,95 EUR VAT included.
The requirements are as follows:
- AmigaOS ® 4.1 or higher
- PPC (x1000/x5000, Sam, QEmu or older PPC Hardware like Peg2/Classic/A1, no support for A1222 currently)
- 64 MB minimum, more recommended
- 3D acceleration supported through Warp3D/Warp3DNova (OpenGL)
- Soundcards supported through AHI
- 4x CD ROM (only needed for game installation)
- 400 MB free harddrive space
Features:
- Features Quake IITM 3D engine by Id Software ® using OpenGL
- MiniGL(Warp3D), GL4ES (Warp3DNova) and Software Renderer
- Both GL Renderers with Multitexturing
- CD Audio with Game Music (also playable through ISO-mounting, CD does not need to be in Drive while playing)
- Localization (both Text and Audio-Output) to English, German, French, Italian and Spanish
- Improved Quality of Video Intro/Extro
- High Resolutions (1920×1080 and 4K Resolutions) added
- Multiplayer Support (internet or LAN up to 32 players)
- Formidable Enemy AI
- Outstanding player controls (mouse, keyboard, joystick) using AmigaInput
- Expandable with new mission packs like Quake
From the list of requirements, I noticed that it currently does not support the A1222+. Hopefully, support for this computer will be implemented in the future.
This boxed version has been on my wishlist for some time now, so looking forward to start playing it. I’ve never played through it before. This will be the first time. 🙂 I’m going to order right after I’ve posted this. I hope it will arrive before Easter.
That was all for now. Thanks for reading, and see you in another post here on the Old School Game Blog!
