Yet another preview of "Grind" - the grown up brother of Amiga 500 Doom-clone "Dread" - just popped up on YouTube.
"Dread" was a super impressive project that spawned full-game-release project "Grind", and it's looking better than ever.
Here's the latest video, that was uploaded just minutes ago to famous retro-gaming channel Saberman RetroNews:

Can an Amiga computer run milestone first person shooter "Crysis"?
Well. "Yes it can." But you need some - just a little! - suspension of disbelief. Here's a prototype created by author lifeschool, that uses a slightly different approach to bringing the amazing graphics engine of "Crysis" to the Amiga. System requirements are comparably moderate:
68030 or better CPU is recommended, though.
You don't believe me? Here, see it for yourself:

Ok, by now you will have found out that "Crysis" was turned from a dynamic first-person-shooter into a Laserdisc-/DVD-style game, so this isn't precisely a "direct port" of the PC version. ;-) But it's still a fun idea, it looks great, and it's even got a "virtual Windows 10 desktop". And it's under active development - so there's a chance one day it'll play just like the original!

Spectacular Amiga 500 OCS 7Mhz first person shooter "Grind" is boldly going serial-link multiplayer.
"Grind" has come a long way from the early "Dread" demos. It's becoming a super polished game, with tons of atmosphere, thanks to the fine tuned visuals, and sounds, and of course the stunningly fast Doom-like 3D graphics engine. And it's got what way too few Amiga games, especially first-person-shooter games, have: it's multiplayer!
A new demo has just been released that features the latest serial-link (nullmodem) program code, a set of options to make adjustments to the multiplayer game mode, two arenas for players to duel, and a round of other updates.
