Ah, I remember playing Prey at those frame rates when the Linux port first emerged.

There has also been some good work on getting Quake 4 working with the dhewm3 code but there are still a few bugs to be worked out.

I own an original Amiga 500 and a 600 for sentimental reasons. Don't think Prey runs on those though...

These are cool retro computers that probably can't even run Amiga OS 4.
Amiga 600 is from 1992, so there is no chance to play it.

In 2009, I played it on the computer with 32-bit Celeron, Geforce FX, and 768 MB of RAM. It wasn't a great experience back then.

However, Hugues Nouvel uses a modern computer to play it:

Hardware X5000/20 with RX560

Yes, I mentioned Quake 4 for Amiga earlier:

I know. I have some addons installed which let's the 500 run at 37 MHz.

Can you play Doom on it?

Thanks.

It can also run Quake, which is crazy:

Since it's built on the dhewm3 engine, it can theoretically be ported to any platform supported by dhewm3 when it gets released. The devs are legally required to release the source code if they release an executable as per the GPL license the Doom 3 source code is available under.

Unfortunately, since Prey is no longer available on Steam or GOG.com (I assume it was at some point), the only ways of acquiring a copy of the game nowadays are either buying a physical copy or piracy. I wish the publishers would put it back up. Maybe Nightdive can do us a favor here...
