Who
are we?
Desktop Corruption are group of dedicated AMIGA coders spread about
the world (UK, USA, Sweden) who have banded together on the
internet to form a new and exciting coding group. We have all
grown up with and lived with the AMIGA brand of computers from
the heady days of the 80's. We have all been branded by the AMIGA
CULTURE, have grown up with a machine that has had no limits, a
machine that has allowed our imaginations to roam wild. We hope
to bring to the AMIGA community a range of games that the AMIGA
has not seen for years, a range of games that define new limits
for the imagination, games to take the player into a higher realm
of excitement.
Why
use the AMIGA?
The AMIGA is one of those machines from 80's with an
innovative design and sophisticated architecture that has seen 8
models developed since 1985 and a chipset that still stands up on
it's own against any mid-range PC despite not having a major
update since the early 1990's. It is a ray of light in a world of
big company, big dollar organisations who dominate the personal
computing world with expensive, time consuming, unfriendly
software and hardware. Can you honestly say that any typical
person/family can afford or would consider spending over £1000
for a home computer that would need updating in 6 months to run
the next batch of new software?
Machine
Specifications
Desktop Corruption are
releasing AMIGA games catered for mid-range AGA machines to offer
budget tight AMIGA owners a choice of professional games at just
above bare machine specifications. Desktop Corruption will
however increase it's minimum specficaions every 8 months to keep
up to date with new AMIGA technology to bring bigger and better
games to the AMIGA community. We believe that 8 months is more
then enough for even the basic of AMIGA user to upgrade their
machine to one level or another.
The Basic system requirements for any of our projects will be: AGA Chipset, 2Meg CHIP & 2Meg FAST and a Hard Drive with 20 - 40 Meg free (to store film sequences, audio etc). All of our games will run on these low-end machines with little or no difference to higher powered machines.
We Recommend any of the following to improve the quality of our projects: 68030 or better processor, CD-ROM for CD quality music, any CyberGFX compatible graphics card (A1200T/A4000) and a 28,000 bps modem for link-up games.
