Hi !

Steffen Haeuser (A great guy 8) ), look to the file of AmiTombRaider
Archive and found that it was in fact a hoax.
IT IS A VIRUS !
Please check your data with an anti-virus !
DO NOT INSTALL IT !
I install it and I think i'm infected.

Regards, Nico

What is the reality of making an Amiga executable for the PC Tomb Raider CD? I
know that someone posted a response to this Amiga Tomb Raider rumor, saying
that it would be better to make Amiga executables that just used the PC data
off the CD's. I do not know anything about programming: would a game like Tomb
Raider constantly be sending out new PC-specific instructions throughout the
entire game (making an Amiga executable impossible), or once the game engine is
running, does it just keep loading and interpreting the 3d data from the CD?

The latter. AQuake has been ported this way. The PC data has not been
modified.

In article <352B62EF...@wanadoo.fr>, tertiaire...@wanadoo.fr

Maybe people should try running such things under (the Amiga version of) UAE
first? You'd just need a lot of patience!
