Good suggestion! Competition has been launched!

Hi everyone,

A bit late as usual, but here it is at last, the game competition for May.

This month we will be playing a game suggested by 328gts and Levellord, namely Space Invaders!

Quote:

You can download the game from OS4Depot:

The goal is to score as many points as possible. The one with the highest score wins the contest.

Who will be the Amigans.net master of this classic shoot'em up game? Only time will tell...

Good luck everyone! Happy gaming!

@K-L

Hi there! Honestly, we can not know if someone is cheating, but I highly doubt anyone would do that in these Amigans.net competitions. Usually we have no prizes either, it is all for fun, glory and honor.

@samo79

Just wanted the full version, as the one I have is only a demo.

@Hans

Here is the information about what is needed to run DVPlayer:

Required Hardware

● X1000, X5000, A1222+ or Sam 460 computer system
● 1GB Memory
● RadeonRX graphics card or RadeonHD Southern Islands **
● Enhancer Software V2 or later.
● OS 4.1 or later
● Hard disk drive with 20MB or more free space

** Important: RadeonHD v4 or better driver required for RadeonHD SI compatability.

Do you mean it is possible to run it on other systems as well?

Hi everyone,

The new DVPlayer is unfortunately not compatible with my Sam. Does anyone know where one can get a full version of DVPlayer which supports AmigaOS 4 setups without RadeonRX or RadeonHD Southern Islands graphics cards? Thanks in advance.

@levellord

Hi there! Thanks for the score! Scoreboard has now been updated.

Thanks for the scores @Antique and @VooDoo!

As of April 17th, Antique takes the lead with 127,197 points, while VooDoo is close behind with 112,676 points. In third place we got mcleppa with 104,074 points. It is surely a close race at the top now!

@jabirulo

Oh no, I'm very sorry I missed you! I have now added your score to the list.

Thanks guys! Much appreciated!

Thanks for all the new scores! The current standings are now updated as of April 13th.

@eliyahu

Cool that your son is participating! Good score as well! I've now added him to the highscore-list.

Thanks for the scores everyone! Good luck further on in the contest!

@328gts

Done!

@328gts

Hmmm, haven't thought about that. Good point! I think it would be best to start over. Is that ok for you guys?

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone!

@msteed

I was hoping that the roundup would provide some extra motivation for developers, so I'm very happy to hear it accomplishes this. Cheers!

@imagodespira

Wow, that is fantastic! Thanks so much!

Hello everyone,

Welcome to a new competition here at Amigans.net!

During April we'll be playing M.A.C.E. by Entwickler-X.

M.A.C.E. is a classic space shoot 'em up, inspired by the legendary Amiga games of this genre. Handdrawn 2D graphics in HD resolutions, parallax scrolling, explosion effects and optimized games mechanics, combined with the proven gameplay are transporting the "Spirit of Amiga" in today's Age.

Requirements are as follows:

AmigaOS 4.1 compatible computer with the latest updates, compositing capable graphics card (Radeon + Radeon HD), 400 MB free disk space

This is a commercial game, so it is not free to download. It can be purchased, for example, from Alinea in Germany here:

https://www.amiga-shop.net/en/Amiga-So ... a-Games/M-A-C-E::623.html

The goal of the contest is to score as many points as possible. We play on Normal mode. When you are Game Over, you'll need to start over again.

Good luck everyone!
