[3] Min. Requirements: 1MB ram.
Recommended: Multiple floppy drives or HD, extra memory (for better game performance due to data loaded from disk being cached in memory), accelerator (for enhanced gameplay elements such as double-buffering to improve the framerate of the graphics on some screens).
[4] Game supports full multitasking (memory permitting except on the Pilot or External Camera screens when gameplay is not paused), mouse/keyboard control, SAGE compatible gfx cards (see "LastMinute.txt" file on disk 1), and a quit back to WB option.

TRIVIA: [1] Originally the game was going to consist of the Russian mission from the "Flight of the Old Dog" novel plus a few others, but the Gulf War in 1990/91 prompted the focus of the game to be shifted. Subsequently, Operation Desert Storm missions were integrated and assumed front and centre in the game.
[2] MEGAFORTRESS is one of the earliest commercial Amiga games, if not the first, to feature graphics card support. |
