@node thanku "Thanks 2"
In my last Guide file I asked if someone had a copy of Monkey Island 2
lying around to swap for an other game.
A couple of days ago I got a phone call from William Andrew saying
that he would send me his copy FREE of charge so here's a BIG
THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY LIFE AND LETTING ME HAVE FUN ON MY AMIGA
PLAYING A BRILLIANT ADVENTURE GAME TO:
William Andrew and his entire family !
I'd also like to thank all the other people who responded.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Also A big thank you has to go out to Georg Steger for making the BEST
@{"DOOM PORT" link doom} the AMIGA has ever seen. It plays very good even on my slow
68030 AGA machine !!
p.s. The games I offered to swap for Monkey Island 2 can now be
swapped for other games or you can buy them just send @{"me" link me}

If you install them using the supplied script older versions will be
deleted (if you've got them) and replaced with the new ones !

@node XTRinst " How 2 install the Tracks 2 your harddrive."
1. Double click on the INSTALL_XTR_STuFF icon in the XTR_TRACKS directory.
(It might be placed in the Original Files sub-direcory but this depends
on AF.)
2. A requester will appear asking you for you XTR directory.
This is the directory where you'll find the FRONTEND file.
3. When you've selected this directory click on OK and the tracks
will be installed.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-Thing that can go wrong-
1. - When you select the wrong destination directory the files will be
unarchived to the wrong directory.
* Copy the files to the proper directory or delete the created
directories and try again !
2. - The installer doesn't do anything.
* Make sure LHA or LZX is installed in the C: directory.

@node xtrtips " TIPS "
If you haven't got the full registerd version of crunch mania you can
get a test version from the aga-experience CD 1 which was included
with Amiga Format a while back. There are a couple of bugs in this
program but it's great for tracks which you don't want to edit or
copy to a different directory using cli (your AMIGA will crash if
you copy a file crunched using CRM version 1.9T).
If you do want to edit a track crunched with this you can load it into
the editor as normal but you'll have to save it under a different name
and then delete the old file and rename it back to it's original name.
YES, this is a lot of work but it'll save A LOT of space on your
harddrive !
p.s. If you copy a CRM1.9T crunched file using DOpus it'll be
unarchived and your amiga won't crash !
p.p.s. Neither me nor the person who created CRM will be held
responsible if something goes wrong. If you want to be sure
that it works get the FULL REGISTERD VERSION !!

@node 20 " 20 reasons to support the AMIGA "
1. The operating system is easy to use and very flexible.
2. More game releases than the N64, Saturn and 3DO combined.
3. Easily upgradible, you don't have to buy a new motherboard
to be able to use a new CPU !
4. The shareware scene. There's a lot of cool stuff out there and
most of it costs a fraction of simmilar PC programs.
5. Microsoft doesn't release software for the amiga anymore !! YES !!
6. The PPC CPU is much better then Intel type CPUs.
7. the painting programs (PPaint and DPaint) on the AMIGA are much
better than their PC counterparts.
8. Output can be recorded to VCR without the need for external
hardware.
9. The "early startup" screen will allow you to boot without a
startup-sequence for easy dos acces and you can also select
different devices to boot from.
10. The AMIGA users !!
11. You can easily emulate MACs and it's possible to emulate PCs
at reasonable speeds.
12. You don't have to buy a new AMIGA every 6 weeks.
13. Software is optimized, so you don't need the latest hardware
to play the latest games.
14. Thanks to the libraries it's much easier for programmers to
make programs. and it's possible to upgrade libraries which
could even improve older programs !
15. AMINET !
16. Cheap commercial software. You don't have to pay 50 pounds for a
game !
17. ScalaMM Create slideshows, presentations etc. using your mouse
button and then show them on a big screen TV, try that with a
PC.
18. Datatypes. View almost every file format !
19. You can turn off your amiga at any time as long as there's no
disk activity. On a windows'95 system you have to close windows
and wait for a while till you can turn of your computer.
20. The spicegirls game IS NOT available on the AMIGA. THANK GOD !!

@node DOOM " AMIGA DOOM "
Since ID released the source code for @{"DOOM" system "cd0:c/afcdview doom.iff"} a couple of people have been
porting it for the AMIGA !
as far as I know there are 7 ports available at the moment here's a
SHORT discription of them:
Doomattack - This is my favorite, because it is fast even on my 68030
another cool feature is the prefs program which means
you won't have to edit the prefs file every time you
want to change something. But what I like best about this
one is the fact that it never crashed and workes with
Doom shareware, Doom 1 and Doom 2. (Version 0.7)
ADoom - slightly slower than Doomattack on my setup but still
manages to run at an impressive speed. Version 0.9 had
the ability to play MIDI files in the back ground but
for some reason this option has been removed. This isn't
to bad as most MIDI files sound horrible when used
whitout a MIDI instrument. (Tested version 1.1)
AmiDoom - This one is very SLOW and lacks options use ADoom or
Doomattack instead. Later versions should be better
(I've got version 0.4).
AMIGAdoom - The speed on the normal version is about the same as
AMIdoom but there's also a FPU version, maybe that
will speed things up. (version 1.1 ??)
PsiDOOM - It's possible to start PSIDoom now, but who'd want to
it's slow, lacks audio and joypad support. but at least
it's improved since previous releases, so there's still
some hope for PSIDOOM, yet! (version 0.8)
VDOOMppc - Requires a PPC so I haven't been able to test it.
If it's optimized for PPC it should run very fast.
But according to the documentation this is not the
case (YET ??).
ZHAdoom - This version (0.6) doesn't work on my 68030. **
(maybe they should stop with the 68K version and
spend their time improving the PPC version ?).
ZHAdoomPPC - Yet another PPC doom port, don't know if it will work ?
I've heard that on a (fast) PPC it will reach around
50 FPS (!). (latest version is 0.6)
So if you want to play DOOM (1, 2 or another version) on a 68K get DOOMattack
or ADoom. They are very fast (speeds are simmilar to alienbreed 3D II).
They never crashed while I was playing the game (or while loading).
These two also support the CD32 joypad and ADoom even supports the Sega
Megadrive joypad (3 or 6 button).
If you're a lucky PPC owner get ZHAdoomPPC instead.
** Because they didn't work properly on my machine doesn't mean they won't
work on yours, I've got a lot of programs running in the background
which might cause some doom ports to fail or slow down ?
@{" Click here for some DOOM cheats " link doomcheat}
p.s. Despite the fact that DOOMattack and ADoom are the fastest doomports
available, they're still not as fast as some of the @{" Doomclones " link doomclones}
available on the AMIGA.
@endnode
@node doomclones " DOOM CLONES ON THE AMIGA "
Here's a list of doom clones available on the AMIGA.
Alien Breed 3D - One of the first doomstyle games on the amiga. At the
time it was very good boosting features that where
once thought impossible on the AMIGAs planar gfx.
But compared to modern doom clones the gfx are just
much to blocky !
Alien Breed 3D 2 - A great improvement over the first release. It had
improved gfx a faster 3D engine and the ability to
jump. This is still one of the best DOOM clones on
the AMIGA.
Breathless - As far as I know this was the first Doom clone on the
AMIGA to feature a 1*1 pixel mode. The 3D engine is
very smooth even when compared to newer doom clones
it's very good. This is one great game!
Fears - Worthless gfx, animations and sound. The only good thing about
this game is that it's fast. I would therefor only recommand it
to people with a standard A1200.
Gloom 1 - The first real doom clone on the amiga. Like AB3D it had
very blocky GFX but this changed when Gloom deluxe was released.
Gloom Deluxe - This version had a 1*1 pixel mode, the ability to use
different screen sizes and it was the first AMIGA 3D
game to support CGX. Unfortunatly the 3D engine is
rather slow.
Gloom 3 - This is nothing more then Gloom Deluxe with new levels.
There are much better 3D shoot'em ups available now, so
unless your the worlds biggest gloom fan you shouldn't
bother.
Nemac IV - A friend of mine bought this game when he got his blizzard
1230-IV. It looks very good and plays even better. It's
also one of the few doom clones to support the graffity
card. This game is highly recommanded to all game payers.
Testament - This game got great reviews in all AMIGA magazines. Why,
I don't know! The gfx are terrible when compared to other
games. The background 'music' is great when you first play
the game, but it soon becomes very irritating.
Trapped 2 - This isn't realy a doom clone but if you like 3D games
you'll love this one. It's one of the few 3D games on
the amiga to use polygons, it's got increddible lightning
effects. This game looks great even when compared to games
available on the playstation (it looks much better than
tombraider 2 on the psx). Play the demo from AFCD 14 and
if you like it BUY IT !!
@{b}Doom clones I haven't played @{i}(yet).@{ub}@{ui}
Citadel
Genetic species - I've played an early demo of this and it looked very
prommising.
Quake - Will probably be to slow to play on my 030.
