I'm interested in SSI's DragonStrike for Amiga. I'd use it on a 2500/20. Does anyone have any experience with the game? Is it buggy? Does it support a 68020 and/or WB 2.0? Felix

Does it support a 68020 and/or WB 2.0? It works fine on my 2500/30, even when sped up (I try to use the basic 68000 wil ALL my games, as it usually makes a difference, but not here). The game is great, if you like flight simulators AND fantasy. I personally don't like flight simulators, but this one was so easy to use, that I actually finished a few missions. My friend loves flight simulators, but not fantasy, and he thought the game was good, a perfect way to fly around and not worry about all those controls. For someone who likes both, the game should be awesome. One note, there IS a bug, and a big one at that. Supposedly there is a second breath weapon available by using the other mouse button. If you press this button, the system crashes. If you want the full effect, ask the company if they fixed it. You can play without it, but you can't get finish, as there are some dragons that you can't hurt with your primary breath weapon. So, hey, if the game is good WITH a bug, it should be awesome with out it. Jon c/o silk@dorm.rutgers.edu

It is really nice becasue it allows the use of higher speeds, for example it ran faster in full detail mode on a 2500 then my 2000. I'm not sure about 2.0 compatability, I'm assuming it works for it. I recommend the game. l8r... dower@ritcsh.rit.edu

I set the keys to what I wanted, then used the joystick. When I needed the secondary weapon, I just hit the space bar. Still, it would be nice if I had a joystick with two buttons. Anybody know where I can get one? I dunno if the game even supports two-button sticks... -Nick "I don't need to steenking disclaimer..."

Hmm, the bug you talk about I never encountered, even playing it on a 2500... l8r... dower@ritcsh.rit.edu
