This is an open to the question to the lot of you...
What do you think is the best real-time 3D graphics computer you know of?
Or, rephrasing - if it where your job to make a "really great" video game,
which platform would you base it on?
Feel free to respond here in the newsgroup - or if you prefer direct e-mail
I'll summarize to the net.
Thanx in advance.

You mean a home computer?? The Amiga with a 68030/40. You have to write the 3D graphics commands but I have done most of that in Unix and Xwindows so when the get it going, I am porting it there from a Sun. There is no "real-time" home computer - Silicon Graphics is the only machine that I'd call real time for true graphics - Garoud Shading, Phong Shading, full 3D hardware animation, multi-point lighting (multi-color too).

Sorry - I didn't make myself very clear with the initial question. No, I don't mean home computer. I meant: "If you had all the money you could want to make a *great* video game, what computers would you want?" For example, I heard that SGI just announced a new machine w/ around 5x the performance of their last - and that it has texture mapping! But I also wonder about things like the "AT&T Pixel Machine"... I haven't played w/ one, but I here that it screams! -- Scott Watson - "Inane little message goes here" uucp: {rutgers,ames}!elroy!grian!heim!scott Internet: scott@heim.glendale.ca.us
