This seems really weirdly elitist? Have you been paying attention to the Amiga games scene of the last few years? Blitz isnt that slow (and you can use ASM within it) .. Not everyone is able to learn ASM, and yet a lot of nice games are coming. Many genres of game dont even need to-the-metal speed to work well, either. A game is a game, regardless of the tools used.

There were a few big commercial games made in Blitz. The only reason Blitz wasnâ(TM)t used in more titles is it was too late to matter. Skidmarks is still one of the smoothest racing games on the system.. If you look at some of the stuff people are making in Scorpion (which is compiling with blitz) now theyâ(TM)re just as impressive as the old games, particularly Danteâ(TM)s castlevania port, Neesoâ(TM)s Super Delivery Boy, BitBeamcannonâ(TM)s unnamed tutorial game, etc.. weâ(TM)ve got crazy copper/parallax, tons going on.. Itâ(TM)s pretty easy to get nice performance.

There really arenâ(TM)t many of those as a percentage of the active Amiga user base. ðY...There are nutcases in every scene. Most treat it as a fun hobbyist side-machine with some fun, unique limitations (and strengths) to work with.
