This is just a port of the ST version, never even heard of it until I saw it posted there!

Yes, it's an "arcade hit" I'd never heard of either!

[TL]

There has been quite a few of these ST ports now of games that never made it to the Amiga. They use a lot more RAM and run much slower as the Amiga is basically emulating the ST code and has a slower CPU to start with.

Yes, I was ment to post about this the other day, metro cross was a classic arcade game back in 1985 and was one of the first games I got to play in 1986 when I got my first Atari ST 520STM , can't believe you never heard of it before Laird or you Trek, this was a time when arcade conversions where done correctly without the cock ups with other later arcade games conversions were, with the likes of Gauntlet, Road Runner or Salmons Key being 95% true to their arcade counter parts on a home computer, developed by Probe software, Metro cross is one of those games with great scrolling and fast gameplay urging you to come back to try again and again.

This now is about the sixth game to get the Atari ST only ported to the Amiga, and based on this port, the team Asman and co had done an excellent job, regarding being slow on the Amiga, I disagree, under winuae it running perfectly fine for me at a1200 settings , sure I even did to ironic, running a emulated port over on an Amiga emulation running on my Sony PSP, that's 3 platform all emulated running it and was quite playable while sitting in the Jon

I spent many an hour playing the ST conversion of Metro-Cross back in the day. Cracking game.

From that linked article I see it opens with "With Atari ST fans already submerged in the Commodore Amiga's shadow." Deary me. Then again, I also noticed who wrote the article so no surprises there, lol! 

[TL]

Running on A1200 settings is a bit different Greyfox, that is a 32-bit Amiga!

If you want to be like that I could run the game on a Falcon and it would be faster again :10:
