-
- Amiga
- -----
-
- a) Direct support of special graphics boards.
-
- The game now uses the CyberGraphics interface standard, to obtain better
- preformance when you have a special graphics board and CyberGraphics
- system installed.
-
- This means:
-
- 1) Faster rendering
- 2) More colors (256 Colors or 24BIT* true color)
-
- Using the CyberVision 64 graphics board from phase 5, fob is generely
- a bit faster in 24BIT* true color than it is in Amiga AGA 32 colors. In 256
- colors fob is always much faster.
-
- *) Min 12MB fast ram. (If you only have 12MB you might want to use
- virtuel memory, eg. setup your system 8MB virtuel memory.)
-
- Currently we haven't really added some graphics that used these new
- possibilities, sorry.
-
- b) Handling of screen larger than the map.
-
- If you select a screen larger than the map you get a nice border
- around the map.
-
- c) More colors under AGA
-
- Now you can select from 16 to 256 colors under AGA. We recommand that
- you use 64 colors, in this mode fob will have 32 fixed colors and 32
- dynamic. Remember more colors need more ram.
