He should have learned long ago, that one can't compete with the big fish...

Well the screenshots from his Space Giraffe game make absolutely no sense. The weirdness of it all may well put a lot of people off.

compare these screenshots from Space Giraffe with these screenshots from "Buccaneer - The Quest for Infamy" and tell me which one looks more appealing.

Actually, neither of those games look even vaguely interesting to me.

The second one's screenshots don't make any more sense to you? I didn't ask about how interesting they were; I'm commenting on the fact that his game's screenshots make no sense.

But games don't have to make sense. I wouldn't be any more inclined to buy one than the other. Actually, thinking about it, i'd be marginally more inclined to buy Space Giraffe than the boat game because from the screenshots it looks like its probably quite a frenetic action game, whereas the boat game looks like its probably slow and boring.

The second game looked kinda cool,would nice to have such a game on the amiga. The first one looked like a bad trip of some kind.

For most people they do have to make sense, which is why Space Giraffe is a tiny niche product. In my eyes, the screenshots didn't look frenetic at all. It just looked like a strange confusing mess with an overuse of glow effects that annoys me. The other game was the first Indy-game (like Space Giraffe) that I could think of, as I'd stumbled across it recently. The screenshots seem to miss the bit where you go round blowing things up. I'd be more likely to try that one.

The problem of today games is the appeal that they have on the users.. all games now are centrated to the graphics. nothing else. Is normal that people prefer old games, maybe played on Amiga long time ago.. I've read on a magazine that a great % of xbox-ps3 are >30 years old.. and thay has the money to buy games on the net.. what do you think they buy?

Maybe X-Box Live is not the best place to sell his stuff. It is not the only way to buy games after all.

So do I, but they're using the Torque Engine Advanced which is DirectX only.
Also, it requires shaders, so you should really be cracking that whip at the Friedens for that MESA port.
