@Cloudschatze: Awesome! I never thought (or knew how) to hook up a CF reader to use for hard drives -- if not too much trouble, please check the PM I sent you asking for info on your "install" equipment and method.

Kool setup! Is that a Zip drive you're using (to the left of the floppy)? I really like how the RLX's are so QUIET -- no fans! Some day, I'd like to get a 1.44mb floppy into my TL/2...but of course, the Tandy controller won't support it (unlike with the RLX series, which does support 1.44 drives).

Yeah, I finally got my pic uploaded -- of my Tandy game machine (second post above ^). I was using Picasa to upload my pic, and for some reason I only linked to a thumbnail the first time. Anyway, as my sig states, this is one of four different rigs I use for my "vintage" PC gaming. I have never …

@carangil: Which one? You had the SB card as a kid, or you had the SB card with the C/MS chips installed?

I've read two different opinions on OPL3 versus OPL2: some say OPL3 is an "improved" chip, while others say OPL2 gives truest game music as the composers intended.

Nah...AWE32 gives great AdLib sounds as well.

Cool. I just thought that some of the "noise" or "crackling" (or whatever) may have been filtered out better in either the original AdLib, or perhaps in the SBPro. Or, perhaps some other discernable nuance might have been present that made them sound a bit different. But "no discernable difference" …

Yeah, when I was posting I actually thought "emulate" probably wasn't the technically correct word due to same chips being used...but the essence of my question remains: was the sound noticeably different, and if so, in what way(s)?
A **T R U E** AdLib card...how different the sound?
Posted on 2010-04-10, 05:12
This has probably been answered, but I'd like to hear some fresh responses from people who own (or have heard) an "original" AdLib card used with a certain game, then compared the sound with, for example, a Soundblaster Pro's AdLib emulation. Can anyone explain the sound differences, advantages/ …

Apparently the game "Civilization" is best on the PC, as I have read Amiga reviews that stated the Amiga version plays quite a bit slower (and I assume there's not a lot of difference in the graphics, although not sure).
Re: AMIGA games VS IBM PC ... which are better?

Not to change the tone of the thread too much, but...since the Commodore 64 has been brought up, I must add that when I did get into computing I went the Atari 800 route instead of Commodore. Very good stuff, although certainly plenty of differences.

i just knew there was a reason I wanted an Amiga (instead of a PC) when I was a youngster. Regrettably I was too poor at the time to get either one.

My opinion is that I totally agree with Keropi...Amiga games blew the PC totally out of the water until 1992-93 when PC games started to take advantage of the hardware and Commodore who made the the Amiga lost it's bottle. So if the creator of this thread is into games from the mid 80's up to the …
Re: AMIGA games VS IBM PC ... which are better?

That is what I would like to hear -- which SPECIFIC PC titles pale in comparison to their Amiga counterparts? (Also, for this discussion, I am proposing that both the PC and the Amiga "test" machines are "top of the line" and have their best sound-and-video card options equipped on each).
AMIGA games VS IBM PC ... which are better?
Posted on 2009-09-19, 17:26
First, I don't know if this post is in the proper forum (but I hope so). Here's the question: Of all the titles which were done on BOTH the Amiga and the PC, which ones had their "best" version on the Amiga? Perhaps some people would say "all of them" but I suspect this would be a bit of an …
