Duck Tales: The Quest for Gold (1990) Amiga, full playthrough 

Better graphics, scroll, music and sounds and on top of it, even voices. Yep, not easy to assimilate.

Iam sure this works with 513kt so i can be played with A1000 1985 machine.

I see that you, _too,_ had the MS-DOS version! :D

Our Amiga 500 was the envy of my whole friends group, it was a goddamn BEAST at the time :D

Yes same! I barely knew how to read and I was trying to play this game 😂

+Brian Stuckert Yeah, like the remake for the Nintendo one.

Of course. IBM PC was garbage for gaming in the 80's; made for boring business people who wanted CPU performance, as many lines of text fitting on the screen as possible and IBMs support. Even the NES embarassed the IBM PC until commander keen in late 1990, which is the first smooth scrolling PC platformer. From commander Keen it was just a year and a half to Wolfenstein 3D and Ultima underworld. In 1992 or so IBM PC massively dropped in price, got cheap and decent sound cards, hard drives and a bit later cheap CD players. CPUs became so obscenely fast that it could beat in software what the amiga did with hardware BLIT and co-processors. When 486DX2-66 rolled around and just became cheaper and cheaper it was all over for the amiga; that was a system that could run Descent, Doom, Ultima underworld, Magic carpet, Dark forces, TES arena, Ultima 7, Warcraft II extremely well.

@@soylentgreenb Imagine if Amiga was around to continue to evolve, how much of a difference it would be now? Amiga was the computer used to make the graphics for Babylon 5.

@@alanguages That's the thing. Amiga utterly failed to evolve. IBM accidentally set up a blueprint for a personal computer that generated a thriving market full of competitors making compatible clones and working against an open standard and rapidly improving on all fronts (cost, performance, user friendlyness). When IBM realized their mistake they tried to rectify it by creating a bunch of closed standards that were supposed to be so good nobody could compete (see the PS/2 line up; remembered today only for the PS/2 mouse port). Nobody was all that impressed by the MCA bus or the other proprietary crap; so IBM just got steam rolled. What did Commodore do? They released better Amigas, but backward compatibility was a fickle thing in most software from the immensly popular Amiga 500. There was such a large installed base of amiga 500's that you couldn't ignore them if you coded a game and a lot of stuff was fairly hard coded and dependent on the speed of the system and would break on a faster system if not designed for it (e.g. framerate dependent game speed). The PC learned to deal with this stuff (at first with ugly kludges like the turbo button to slow the system down if needed for old software) and then by shear attrition of being forced to design for any of a thousand different hardware combinations

@@soylentgreenb Sigh! What Amiga could have been. We will never know, but can only speculate.

@@alanguages Not that long after launching it was the cheapest powerful computer you could buy. but it was stuck with an increasingly inferior processor, increasingly worse every year. It would have ended in tears eventually. The PC beat it in smegging software; using brute force CPU without any dedicated BLIT or anything like it. That's so much more powerful it's stupid.

Amiga's were powerhouses before they stopped using half of the CPU.

HESH AtSeaLab Bitchin!

Caldorian the Atari 2600 used it as well. but yeah your right man :)

It seems he didn't know that the plane doesn't crash into the ground when landing on the runway.

There isn't on harder difficulties.

It means there is a pit in one of the connecting rooms, so if you enter a slime room with 2 unknown exits, you should go back the way you came from. By playing safe you can usually determine where the pits are.

They don't really compare. Completely different games. This has a lot more depth if played at hard difficulty. Winning is not that obvious.
