Kev,
I agree that Amiga gfx needs updating (nobody would argue with that) —
what I'm wondering is whether the HAM mode for backgrounds is still
competitive with what's being touted as "256-color VGA graphics" (the
latest games advertising hype) on the IBM. In other words, am I correct in
recommending to people worried about converting 256-color IBM designs to
the Amiga that they should try to use HAM for the backgrounds? Or do they
simply have to reduce the number of colors on-screen in order to design a
conversion, to 32 or 64 or whatever?
