Yeah, I just found my copy of A3- classic Ray Tracing frenzy. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

no... and i thought a3 was a ray caster, not a ray tracer... or do i mix up 2 different things?
any scrrens, by any chance? good ol'times

Nope it´s ray tracer engine, not caster. Doesn´t matter though hehehe. I´d like to see some screens too please. Eventhough I can remember some cheap looking (for nowadays standards hahaha) (pre)-doom-like A3 screens, I'm only around from A4, so I kinda missed that period.

Cheers

is there anyway people with a6 can obtain a downgrade to a3, i would be interested in playing around with it a little, just for fun.

A3 is available for everyone, the link can be found in the wiki.

And still, it is a Ray CASTER !!

pictures (shown so often already, but... oh well)

WOW That looked like it was a fun Game!
Is that a free one for Download?

It reminds of Doom or Quake1 maybe...
I really love the simplicity and just plain
fun of all those classic games.


Wouldn't mind trying to play this for fun
if its freely available somewhere?

But there are many problems under Win2000 and Win XP.

On XP systems the game usually crashes when entering level 1 (starting new game). Level2 and Level3 work fine.

The DOS executable has problems as well. Sound most likely won't work and sometimes it runs very very jerky.

So what you can do is finish level1 with the DOS version, save at the start of level2 and then continue with the Windows version.

However, timing was not very accurate in A3, so there are several timing problems when running on a newer PC.

If you can get a Win9x PC or an old Dos PC - run it on this machine.
